Update: C-span has formally asked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to cover floor proceedings by installing a few additional cameras in the chamber.
The letter from C-span co-ceo Susan Swain follows widespread praise that the network received for its coverage of last week’s speaker vote. Because it was a special event, C-span obtained permission to cover the proceedings with its own cameras. That gave viewers a much more candid glimpse of lawmakers on the floor. Most other times, C-span coverage of the House floor is via stationary cameras controlled by the government.
“During last week’s Speaker election, C-span was permitted to bring its own cameras into the chamber,” Swain wrote. “The public, press, and Member reaction to C-span’s coverage-along with the “transparency” themes in your new rules package-have encouraged us to resubmit a request we have made to your predecessors without success.”
C-span is finding some support among lawmakers.
