The C-SPAN network includes three television channels (C-SPAN, C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3), one radio station and a group of websites that provide streaming media and archives of C-SPAN programs. C-SPAN's television channels are available to approximately 100 million cable and satellite households within the United States, while WCSP-FM, also called C-SPAN Radio, is broadcast on FM radio in Washington, D.C., and is available throughout the U.S. on XM Satellite Radio, via Internet streaming, and through apps for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices. - Source: Wikipedia

"On March 19, 1979, it started as a bold experiment: the cable industry first brought C-SPAN's gavel-to-gavel coverage of the House of Representatives into America’s living rooms. Since then, C-SPAN has been documenting political history with a unique approach — unfiltered and without commentary — from Congress to the White House to the courts, on the campaign trail, and beyond," C-SPAN said in a statement marking the occasion.
