US public affairs channel C-SPAN has become the tenth partner channel to join the Livestation web TV platform. The channel will be available to anyone outside of the United States.
Although C-SPAN already offers a variety of streams on its own websites, the high-quality C-SPAN feed will give the channel greater prominence in this election year.
“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,” commented C-SPAN President, Rob Kennedy. “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.”
Other Livestation partners include Al Jazeera, Bloomberg Television, Deutsche Welle TV and radio, Euronews, France 24, Russia Today, BBC World News and BBC World Service radio. The C-SPAN website describes the Livestation feed as a “trial program”.
