Madison will be a part of C-SPAN’s nationwide project to discover select cities’ literary and historic values and discuss the television program’s mission to cover public affairs with local experts for the week of Oct. 20, according to a press release.
The television network, in partnership with Charter Communications, will reach out to the Madison community for one week using local film crews to record segments with city experts in various fields. C-SPAN plans to interview historians, authors, civic leaders, teachers and elected officials who can contribute to the project goals.
Mayor Paul Soglin and Charter Communications will welcome C-SPAN representatives to the Monona Terrace Tuesday for a kick-off visit before recordings begin. City representatives will listen to the stories and segments the network has planned to cover during the week.
The local segments will air Nov. 15 and 16 on Book TV and American History TV channels.
