C-SPAN MARKS 25 YEARS OF CALL-IN PROGRAMMINGFull programming schedule here. The first hour includes a debate between Phil Donahue and Pat Buchanan. Christopher Hitchens will be on live at 5 AM Saturday morning (I assume that will be an all-nighter for him) and Randi Rhodes will be on that same day between 1 and 2 PM.
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.
I've called in more than a few times to C-SPAN over the years. I blogged about my favorite call to them here.
