1. Activity on the floor of Congress, one presumes

I think that's actually SOP.

[AuntPatsy]

2. Because less people have cspan 3 and so wont be able to watch....easy answer.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. It's also available online at cbsnews.com eom

[Pryderi]

4. WHAT'S CSPAN'S PHONE #/EMAIL ADDY?

[Atman]

5. They must have an ANSWER rally to cover. This hearing isn't important.

Fuckers. Yeah, CSPAN is independent. Sure.

6. It's in their contract that they have to carry the House when in session.

13. Oh well. Will it be rebroadcast on CSPAN or CSPAN2 so I can record it?

14. Hell, CSPAN has only 1 camera and 1 microphone.

They have to time-share it as much as possible. They blew their budget this year paying for a runner to take the camera and microphone between the House and the Senate. If those classical music CD's hadn't been donated to them by National Public Radio, during the votes all you'd hear is somebody playing a song on tissue paper and comb.

In other words, don't be critical of the people working on dime-store budgets.

[Pryderi]

15. hmmm...sounds like CSPAN needs a budget increase.

[a kennedy]

18. I believe it was the House and Senate majority folks who wouldn't

let C-SPAN have more cameras and microphones. I heard Mr. Lamb say that when the Dems took control of House and Senate.

[RebelOne]

16. It's being shown on CBS, CNN and Fox Web sites.

So, you are not tied to just CSPAN.

[LSK]

17. its the law that they cover LIVE House and Senate
