Brian Lamb, founding CEO of C-SPAN, has been at the helm of the public affairs network since he helped the cable industry launch the first C-SPAN channel 31 years ago on March 19, 1979. In addition to visiting the gravesites of presidents and vice presidents, Brian has interviewed a number of living presidents—Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. This is one of six books authored by Brian and the staff of C-SPAN including, most recently, Abraham Lincoln: Great American Historians on our Sixteenth President.

Presidential historian, author, lecturer, and speechwriter Richard Norton Smith has been the executive director of five presidential libraries (Hoover, Eisenhower, Reagan, Ford, and Lincoln) and of the Robert Dole Library in Kansas. He is currently a scholar-in-residence at George Mason University. Mr. Smith, shown here in front of a statue of Theodore Roosevelt on Roosevelt Island in Washington, D.C., has been a consultant to C-SPAN for several presidential history series.

Presidential historian and Rice University professor Doug Brinkley has written or edited more than two dozen books, including several presidential biographies. Mr. Brinkley has assisted with several C-SPAN projects, most recently serving as an advisor for C-SPAN’s 2009 Survey on Presidential Leadership.

C-SPAN

The C-SPAN networks were created as a public service by the cable industry to provide access to commercial-free coverage of the American political process. They are funded by their affiliates and receive no government or taxpayer support.

C-SPAN was launched in 1979 to provide live, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the U.S. House of Representatives. C-SPAN2 was created in 1986 to provide live, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the U.S. Senate. C-SPAN3, launched in 2001, provides additional choice in public affairs programming. The networks also offer other information and education services, including C-SPAN Radio, C-SPAN.org, C-SPAN Classroom and the C-SPAN Bus.
