C-SPAN unveils new branding: Democracy Unfiltered. The tagline reflects what's new in America in 2025: A new presidency, a new Congress, a new moment in politics -- plus C-SPAN’s enduring commitment to transparency and the belief that an informed public is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. 

C-SPAN is a 2024 "brand that matters" honoree - being recognized by Fast Company - for its government coverage on TikTok. Fast Company notes, "the 45-year-old network gives viewers a raw look at the process of governance without talking heads or pundits, and viewers can still call in to share their opinions live on air." In 2023, 37 C-SPAN TikTok videos had over a million views. So far in 2024, 68 C-SPAN videos on TikTok have over a million views. C-SPAN 2024 TikTok posts have 400 million total views, 3.1 million comments, and 2.1 million shares. Nearly half of C-SPAN TikTok viewers are under the age of 35; two-thirds under the age of 45. According to Fast Company, "On TikTok, its refreshingly straightforward coverage of a particularly dramatic election cycle helped C-SPAN double its follower count between January and October 2024 to more than 1.4 million followers."
