CSPAN3 est une chaîne de télévision d’affaires publiques aux États-Unis, spécialisée dans les programmes historiques et d’archives. Sa programmation est principalement composée de retransmissions intégrales d’auditions du Congrès, de procédures d’agences fédérales et d’événements de politique publique datant d’années antérieures. La chaîne diffuse également des documentaires historiques de longue durée, des entretiens d’histoire orale et des contenus éducatifs sur le gouvernement américain et l’histoire politique. Contrairement aux chaînes d’information en direct, CSPAN3 ne propose ni commentaires, ni analyses, ni programmes de divertissement comme des films ou de la musique. Ses contenus sont issus des vastes archives vidéo du réseau C-SPAN, offrant aux téléspectateurs l’occasion de revivre des moments marquants de l’histoire législative et politique des États-Unis.

Les téléspectateurs peuvent accéder à CSPAN3 via les fournisseurs de télévision par câble et par satellite à travers le pays. La chaîne est également disponible en direct sur le site web de C-SPAN et via son application mobile, sans abonnement requis pour la plupart des plateformes numériques. Les grilles des
