C-SPAN

C-SPAN, or Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network, is a nonprofit television network established in 1979. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it provides unfiltered coverage of U.S. government proceedings and public affairs programming. Founded by Brian Lamb, C-SPAN began with a broadcast of a U.S. House of Representatives session and has since expanded to reach over 100 million households. The network operates three television channels: C-SPAN, which covers the House of Representatives; C-SPAN2, dedicated to the Senate; and C-SPAN3, which features historical programming and international government coverage. C-SPAN also offers a 24/7 radio station and digital platforms for live and on-demand streaming of congressional sessions and public affairs content. The network emphasizes transparency and nonpartisan coverage, providing direct access to government operations and educational resources for the general public, educators, and researchers.
