Three robust linear television channels (SD & HD)
Expand mission to other platforms – VOD– Web (including Video Library and govt.-produced video)– Radio / audio
Continue to invest in marketing and the “Cable Message” Plan for management transition
In the face of the changes sweeping the media industry, C-SPAN is at a crossroads if it is to remain a viable and competitive service for our affiliates and the general public. While maintaining our roots as a service founded and supported by the cable industry, we envision a multiplatform C-SPAN that builds upon our success in linear television.
