June 18, 2018
A C-SPAN bus traveling around Alaska as part of the network's Cities Tour will stop at the University of Alaska Museum of the North from 9:30-11 a.m. on Saturday,
June 23.
The bus arrived in Alaska on Monday, June 18, floating first to Juneau by boat and
then taking the state ferry to Haines. It will be parked in a variety of locations
in Fairbanks on Friday, June 22.
The cable television network C-SPAN broadcasts congressional proceedings and public
affairs programs. The bus contains a television studio, touchscreen tablets and a
station for people to take self-portraits. Visitors can take quizzes to test their
knowledge of the political process. The station is also recording public affairs programs
during its visit. The programs will be broadcasted in July. For more information,
