United States United States

CSPAN3 is a public affairs television network in the United States that focuses on historical and archival programming. Its schedule primarily consists of unedited coverage of congressional hearings, federal agency proceedings, and public policy events from previous years. The channel also airs long-form historical documentaries, oral history interviews, and educational content related to American government and political history. Unlike live news channels, CSPAN3 does not feature commentary, analysis, or entertainment programming such as movies or music. Its content is drawn from the extensive video archives of the C-SPAN network, offering viewers a chance to revisit significant moments in U.S. legislative and political history.

Viewers can access CSPAN3 through cable and satellite television providers across the country. The channel is also available for live streaming on the C-SPAN website and through its mobile app, with no subscription required for most digital platforms. TV guide listings for CSPAN3 are published on the C-SPAN website and in standard electronic program guides, where the schedule is organized by date and event type. The programming is not interrupted by commercial advertising, as the network is funded by the cable and satellite industry.
