C-SPAN, the Cable TV channel


     C-SPAN, the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network is a medium that
truly brings the government to the people.  By presenting live and uncut footage
of our government in action, the citizens of the United States can get a bit
closer to what the founding fathers had in mind when they created our government.
C-SPAN is truly a unique channel amongst the mass of today's viewing options.
C-SPAN was launched March 19, 1979, "to provide live, gavel to gavel coverage of
the United States House of Representatives."1, but the enterprise has been
expanded beyond the original one channel and now utilizes several mediums to
reach its goal.  The originator of this idea of bringing government into
peoples' homes was Brian Lamb, who in addition to being the chairman and CEO of
C-SPAN, is also a host on many of C-SPAN's programs.  Brian's primary belief is
that people should be able to see government in action without soundbites,
computer maps, models, images, music, and news anchor commentary.  Brian feels
that if people can see government in action without the normal clutter, then
they can more easily make decisions for themselves about politics and the
workings of their government.  In addition to C-SPAN, a second channel, C-SPAN2
has also been created.  C-SPAN2 is committed to providing live and uncut
coverage of the U.S. Senate when it is in session.  C-SPAN2 continues the
tradition of the original channel by giving an even wider unfiltered and
unplugged view of our government in action.  In addition to video, C-SPAN also
has 2 different audio networks that broadcast international and American
political content, unfiltered and uncut. Also, C-SPAN has moved into the
computer world and has established a homepage to provide information to people
about its services, as well as receive feedback from viewers via email. One of
the most unique aspects of C-SPAN is that all of its services are offered
totally commercial free.  ...
