DCC

DCC is a dry, unedited feed of legislative proceedings, the American version of what C-SPAN does but with less editorial framing. The cameras roll during floor debates, committee markups, and the occasional procedural vote. There's no anchor, no commentary, just the room. That's either riveting or unwatchable depending on your tolerance for parliamentary procedure. What it does well: full coverage of hearings that mainstream news only clips. If a cabinet secretary testifies for three hours, DCC shows all three hours. Picture quality is standard HD, and the audio captures the chamber acoustics, some echo in the House, tighter sound in committee rooms. Scheduling is event-driven, so expect dead air during recess or when the chamber's empty. For anyone tracking a specific bill or confirmation hearing, watch DCC live to see the whole thing, not just the shouty bits.
