C-SPAN Milestone: C-SPAN also just celebrated an anniversary, ringing in 46 years on March 19. CEO Sam Feist interviewed C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and former co-CEO Susan Swain about the network’s earliest days and its ongoing quest to bring gavel-to-gavel coverage of Congress to every American home.
To celebrate C-SPAN’s Founders Day, we taped a conversation on the beginnings of “cable’s gift to America.”
