C-SPAN To Launch New Weekly Series ‘CeaseFire' In Which Partisans Talk About Areas Of Agreement
C-SPAN plans to debut a new weekly series this fall that will be a twist on many cable panel shows: Instead of arguing, politicos will talk about where they find agreement. CeaseFire is the brainchild of CEO Sam Feist, who departed CNN last year to lead the public affairs network. It was CNN that pioneered the left vs. right face off on its long-running Crossfire, which Feist once oversaw.

'In a media landscape that too often rewards outrage over understanding, CeaseFire stands out by showing what respectful, principled conversation looks like,' Feist said in a statement. 'C-SPAN may be the only television network in 2025 uniquely equipped to air a program like this—operating as a non-profit public service, we aren't driven by ratings or drama, but by a mission to inform, educate and empower an engaged citizenry.' The New York Times first reported on the new show. C-SPAN is funded by cable and satellite companies and, amid more consumers cutting the cord, has been in a push to expand to streaming. But one of the largest services, YouTube TV, has so far been resistant to carry the channel. The network has drawn the attention of one key viewer: President Donald Trump. He has recently talked of watching the channel, even at 3 a.m. in the morning.
