C-SPAN 25 YEARS OF CALL-IN PROGRAMMING - fraught w/ freepers & neocons!
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 01:17 PM by paineinthearse
This is a special CSPAN group post. Generally the group prepares the next day's schedule the evening before. As this is a marathon, we are doing it two days in advance. The next step is yours.

Select a guest or a topic and start a response thread. Populate it with information about the guest or the topic. Then DU'ers can use the information when sending their thoughts prior to air time via the webform at www.cspan.org, or by calling during the program.

===============================================================

C-SPAN launched television’s first-ever, regularly scheduled national viewer call-in program on October 7, 1980 from the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. We’re marking the call-in anniversary with a live, 25-Hour Call-In Marathon starting on Friday, October 7, 2005, at 8 p.m. and continuing through Saturday, October 8, 2005 at 9 p.m. ET.

Every hour, the special program will highlight key events from a year in recent history starting with 1980. Interviews with guests who helped shape or cover the event, archival video and statistics from that year are scheduled. Also, interviews with 25 winners from C-SPAN’s Viewer Call-In Essay Contest will be featured hourly.
