A warning to Washington political junkies who don't have cable or satellite service you may need to get your fix elsewhere if you rely on c-span.org. The network is about to limit web viewership of selected programming from its three TV channels.
Starting this fall, online airings of C-SPAN programming, including the daily morning show Washington Journal, will only be accessible to satellite and cable subscribers.
However, C-SPAN isn't abandoning the web. It will continue offering its core streaming of live government events including those from the House, Senate and White House for free, and web surfers will also have free access to all C-SPAN's older programming.
Peter Kiley, C-SPAN's vice president of affiliate relations, said the move was initiated by C-SPAN itself rather than the cable industry, noting that network officials have become increasingly concerned that allowing open online access to their channels could jeopardize revenues.
