Wyden Praises YouTube, Hulu for Adding C-SPAN to Virtual MVPD Lineups

Sen. Ron Wyden. D-Ore., hailed news Wednesday that YouTube and Hulu will begin including C-SPAN in their virtual MVPD channel lineups. Wyden and Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., urged both platforms and FuboTV in January to add C-SPAN (see 2501220052). “I’m glad YouTube and Hulu decided to do the right thing and support C-SPAN, one of the most reliable and non-partisan sources of information about what the government is up to,” Wyden said. “C-SPAN is a refreshing antidote to the poisonous partisanship that has come to dominate much of the news.” He urged “more media companies to support greater news literacy and access to the government, to inform the public and strengthen our democracy.”
