**C-SPAN Offers Book Links, Funds Operations Through Commissions**
**WASHINGTON, D.C.** – C-SPAN is making it easier for viewers to purchase books featured on its networks by providing direct links to retailers through its website, C-SPAN.org. The network has established agreements with various booksellers, including Amazon, under which C-SPAN receives a small percentage of each purchase made through these links.
“As an Amazon Associate, C-SPAN earns money from your qualifying purchases,” the network states on its website. “Any revenue realized from this program goes into a general account to help fund C-SPAN operations.”
By using the links provided on the C-SPAN website, viewers can directly support the network’s programming. However, C-SPAN clarifies that it is not responsible for the fulfillment, customer service, privacy policies, or any issues related to book orders. These concerns should be directed to the specific bookseller’s website administrator.
In addition to the book links, MyC-SPAN members can also download four Congressional hearings and proceedings under four hours for free each month. There are three ways to set in and out points for a clip. The network says that users can check their selection with the Preview Clip option If you are editing the times of an existing clip, you may only set a start and end time within the original clip boundaries.
C-SPAN encourages viewers interested in supporting its non-profit, public affairs programming to utilize the provided book purchase links and free download.
