TVW is Washington State's public affairs network, providing gavel-to-gavel coverage of Washington State Legislature sessions, as well as arguments before the Washington Supreme Court, and other public affairs events.[1][2] It is available via cable throughout the state,[3] and is widely considered the model state-level equivalent of C-SPAN.[4]
TVW was founded in 1993 by Stan Marshburn and politician Denny Heck. The latter would serve as host of the program Inside Olympia until 2003.[5]
In 2017, TVW partnered with Central Washington University to add live and recorded "world-class speakers and cultural events" to its programming.[6]
