 C-Span, which superbly covers the US political scene, is now available outside the USA to users with a broadband connection. C-Span’s timing could not be better, given the upcoming US presidential elections.
C-Span has done a deal with Livestation, which is taking C-Span on as
one of its core news “partner channels” (alongside al-Jazeera,
Bloomberg, Euronews, Deutsche Welle and the BBC). Viewers will need a
broadband connection, and to download the livestation.com player.
"C-SPAN is pleased to announce its partnership with Livestation to make
the network's telecasts available outside the United States. With so
much interest in this year's election, both in America and abroad, our
partnership with Livestation allows the network to expand its mission
of educating the public on the American political process.
International viewers will now have the opportunity to watch the
American democratic process unfold, uninterrupted and unfiltered,
allowing viewers to form their own opinions on the issues being debated
in the United States,” said C-Span’s president Rob Kennedy.
Matteo Berlucchi, Livestation CEO said: "I think with the US elections
coming up, C-SPAN coverage is going to prove hugely popular with our
audience, who we know like to have access to multiple global
perspectives. We are looking forward to analysing the viewer statistics
for the C-SPAN channel and helping them to understand their audience
even better."
