Why Is Gore On C-Span THREE?

[Dinger]

He'll be addressing House and Senate panels, Washington Journal is talking about it, House is on C-Span, Senate on C-Span 2, soooooo, again, why isn't this on C-Span or C-Span 2???????

1. If it is during regular bus. hours - I would guess that 1 and 2 are

reserved for covering house and senate sessions and thus not covering anything live... just taped stuff that they can cut into in the case that either chamber of congress goes into session.

2. O.k. Thanks nt

3. I TiVO'd C-SPAN3 from 9:30 until 2pm. Gore is first?

I am lucky my cable provider has all 3 C-Spans in their line-up.

Sucks for the many people don't have TV access to C-SPAN3. :mad:

8. He testifies twice, at 9:30 and 2:30 EST, for 2 hours each

according to the c-span website.
Both will be carried by c-span 3.

12. D*mn, it does suck I only get C-SPAN 1 and 2.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

4. Because that way

fewer people will see this important event. Of course. ;-) As a Clarkie you know very well how the game is played, they use the ignore button a lot.

6. Maybe It Will Re-air On C-Span or C-Span2???

One can always hope.

9. Yes, a caller asked about it on Washington Journal

and the host said it will be played in the evening on c-span.
It will also be carried live on c-span radio.
The host also said they have a commitment to carry the house and senate.

11. Good. Thanks : ) nt

5. FWIW, you can hear it on C-SPAN Radio on XM, and they'll re-broadcast it on 1 and 2 later.

That is Al Gore taking phonecalls, yes?

7. CSPAN 1 & 2 are ALWAYS the live House & Senate session....

they never make exceptions to that. Its not some sort of conspiracy or anything. CSPAN 3 can be streamed online for those who do not get it on cable.

10. C-Span 3 is considered

the education channel; and is carried in a lot of classrooms.
At least that is my understanding.

I think 1 & 2 are for Government live hearings/sessions
