The C-SPAN Revolution

The C-SPAN Revolution is a business biography written by Stephen Frantzich and John Sullivan, first published in 1996 by University of Oklahoma Press.

The book recounts the history of C-SPAN, the widely-popular political channel, and its early struggles in gaining a foothold within the infancy of the cable and satellite television industry due to it not being a paying channel (from its outset it has always been sponsored by the industry as a public service, which in the early days made it a sometimes popular channel to cut, only for cable providers to be inundated by subscribers wanting the channel to be made available).
