'''C-SPAN''' ('''C'''able-'''S'''atellite '''P'''ublic '''A'''ffairs '''N'''etwork, sometimes stylized as '''CSPAN''') is a cable television network.

Unlike nearly all cable channels outside of those operated by local governments which broadcast such events as school board and city council meetings, C-SPAN is not a channel which pays to be included by cable and satellite networks; instead, the networks subsidize the cost of its operation by providing it without cost to the company as a public service (thus the name). (In the early days of cable and satellite television it was a popular channel to be the first removed due to its non-paying status, only to have subscribers inundate the networks with requests to keep it in the lineup.)
