Young Celebrates 39th Anniversary of C-SPAN’s Senate Coverage

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) joined Senate colleagues in introducing a resolution to mark the 39th anniversary of C-SPAN 2’s first Senate broadcast on June 2, 1986. The resolution also urges all television providers, including streaming services, to carry the network.

“C-SPAN 2 has connected Americans with their government for nearly 40 years. I’m proud to support this resolution to recognize the anniversary and call formore Americans to have access to this vital window into the Senate,” said Senator Young.

For nearly four decades, C-SPAN 2 has served as a channel between the public and the Senate, offering Americans an uninterrupted and unfiltered lens to view their elected officials working on the electorate’s behalf. C-SPAN does not receive taxpayer funding and is supported by America’s cable and satellite television operators as a public service.
