C-SPAN , a nonprofit, relies almost entirely on monthly fees from cable and satellite providers.

As cable subscribers have disappeared, so, too, have the fees.

This year 's expenses will exceed its revenue by about $8 million , the organization estimates.

The biggest multichannel streamers like YouTube TV , Hulu + Live TV , and Fubo have declined to add C-Span’s three channels to their lineups.

C-SPAN doesn't receive any money from the federal government, insulating it from political influence.

Almost all of its revenue comes from cable and satellite companies, which pay a fee—7.25 cents per subscriber per month—to carry the channels.

Elected officials on both sides of the aisle have supported the channels’ campaign to get on the streaming platforms.
