​​This Week's DC Trivia:

March 19 was the 45th anniversary of C-SPAN’s first live gavel-to-gavel broadcast of the House chamber in 1979.  When did the Senate start its broadcasts: (1) 1976; (2) 1986; or (3) 1991?  

Answer:​

According to the official Senate website, "by early 1986 Majority Leader Bob Dole and Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd worried that the lack of television coverage was transforming the Senate into the nation’s forgotten legislative body.  House members were becoming far more visible than senators to their constituents. The two leaders eventually engineered a vote in which the Senate agreed to a three-month trial period, with live national coverage to begin on June 2, 1986.  Within weeks, the Senate voted to make this coverage permanent."
