C-SPAN’s Co-CEO Susan Swain is asking House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., to allow her organization’s cameras in the House chamber full time. Swain is renewing the perennial request after experiencing success covering the 15 ballot House Speaker vote.
“C-SPAN, a private not-for-profit public affairs network, commits to covering House debates in the same manner we have televised Congressional hearings – fully, accurately and with the unbiased production style on which we have built our reputation since 1979,” Swain wrote in a letter to McCarthy.
If the request is approved, C-SPAN pledged to share its feed with all the other TV networks. Their cameras caught many close up moments from the House floor during the speaker saga that revealed how proceedings play out.
