C-Span has joined YouTube TV, ending a yearslong fight by the public affairs network to secure placement on major live TV streaming services and restoring access for millions of cord-cutters who had lost the channel when they left traditional cable.
All three C-Span networks became available on YouTube TV last Thursday at noon, reaching an estimated 10 million subscribers who previously had no way to watch Congress’s gavel-to-gavel proceedings in real time. The launch comes after a bipartisan push on Capitol Hill and follows a unanimous Senate resolution in June urging streaming platforms to carry the nonprofit network.
