C-SPAN: An Overview of the Network

C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) is a cable and satellite TV network that broadcasts across America. Based on a non-profit business model for public service, the network was founded 42 years ago in 1979. Its primary goal was to televise complete coverage of US political events, so as to help people understand the mechanics of national politics and presidential campaigns. And, this objective was born out of the notion that TV newscasts tended to be less than forthcoming about what the candidates would do with the power yielded to them.

The launch of C-SPAN coincided with the first televised session made available by the House of Representatives. And the Senate followed suit, albeit it took Senators 7 years of debate before cameras were allowed onto the floor in 1986—this was when C-SPAN2 was born. The third in the series, C-SPAN3 took longer to be founded—it was not before 2001 that full-time operation commenced.

C-SPAN programming is widely available via cable or satellite TV subscriptions across the US. And the one reason for its popularity among the masses is the spirit in which C-SPAN covers political events with a spotlight on unedited end-to-end coverage of the House of Representatives and Senate—no editing, commentary, or analysis. The network’s founding principles continue to impart an unbiased and balanced approach to coverage—whether it is the governmental proceedings on the floor of Capitol Hill, key congressional hearings, or public affairs programming.

The network is private—which means it is free of authoritative influence—political or corporate—and funded solely by its cable and satellite affiliates. So, it is able to relay unfiltered and untainted information about politics and the proceedings of the federal government—letting viewers make up their minds and form an opinion based on unprejudiced first-hand information. No surprise then the C-SPAN Network is seen as an unbiased platform displaying a verified outlook of the national politics and matters of public policy.
