You don’t need cable to watch C-Span. All C-SPAN live feeds are streamed to the C-SPAN YouTube Channel. To watch on your TV, download the YouTube app to your Smart TV or streaming device. Most streamlining devices already preinstall the YouTube app. Please note, this isn’t the live streaming service YouTube TV, but the YouTube app.
Once you download the YouTube App, open the app and use the magnifying glass icon on the left menu and search “C-SPAN”. You will then see the C-SPAN channel and the current live feed. Select the live feed and you can watch C-SPAN on your TV.
