Hi, I'm Tammy, and joining me today is Paul as we celebrate 45 years of C-SPAN's unblinking

eye on the democratic process. That's right, Tammy. Since our founding in 1979, C-SPAN has been

documenting history with a unique approach, unfiltered, without commentary,

and entirely independent from government funding. C-SPAN is funded by fees from our C-BEL and

satellite distribution partners, and now with fewer people subscribing to cable and satellite,

we're asking you to help support our next 45 years.

It's amazing to see how C-SPAN has adapted and grown.

With the rise of digital platforms and social media,

C-SPAN has expanded its reach, so no matter where you are,

you have 24-7, 365 access to the democratic process.

C-SPAN's dedication to putting you in the rooms where politics is debated

and policy is determined will not waver. We ask you to support C-SPAN's vital mission. As we celebrate

45 years of service, your contribution helps us to continue to adapt and grow in this digital age.
