YouTube TV Expands Channel Lineup with Addition of C-SPAN Networks
YouTube TV has enhanced its channel offerings by incorporating C-SPAN, C-SPAN2, and C-SPAN3 into its platform. This development allows subscribers to access comprehensive, unedited coverage of U.S. congressional proceedings, including live broadcasts from the House of Representatives and the Senate.
This expansion follows an agreement between Google and C-SPAN, wherein YouTube TV consented to pay the same carriage fee as traditional cable providers to include these channels. Notably, this fee is modest, amounting to just 87 cents per subscriber annually, ensuring that the addition does not lead to an increase in subscription costs for users.
The inclusion of C-SPAN channels is a significant milestone for YouTube TV, aligning with its commitment to offering a diverse range of content that caters to the informational needs of its audience. For C-SPAN, this partnership represents an opportunity to reach a broader audience in the era of digital streaming, ensuring continued access to its unfiltered coverage of governmental proceedings.
Subscribers can locate the C-SPAN channels within the news section of YouTube TV’s live guide, alongside other prominent news networks. This integration provides users with seamless access to in-depth political coverage, enhancing the platform’s value as a comprehensive source for news and information.
