Before 1979, the only way to see the proceedings of Congress was to visit the Capitol.  Brian Lamb believed the American public had a right to see government working and convinced the cable industry to create C-SPAN, the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network.

After serving in the United States Navy, Lamb worked as a White House staffer and as the Washington bureau chief for Cablevision magazine.  Known for his unobtrusive interview style, direct questions, and balanced approach, Lamb has hosted C-SPAN’s “Booknotes” and “Q&A.”  His awards include the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Humanities Medal.
