DIRECTV, a leading live TV streaming service, recently added C-SPAN3 to its popular MyNews Genre Pack, further enriching its lineup of news-focused programming. This strategic move underscores DIRECTV’s commitment to providing subscribers with comprehensive, genre-specific content tailored to their viewing preferences. The MyNews Genre Pack, priced at $39.99 per month, now offers an even broader spectrum of news and public affairs programming, appealing to viewers seeking in-depth coverage of American history, government, and public policy.
C-SPAN3, known for its focus on American history and government proceedings, complements the existing C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 channels already available in the MyNews pack. While C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 provide live, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, respectively, C-SPAN3 offers a unique blend of historical programming, in-depth policy discussions, and archival content. Popular programs such as American History TV and Lectures in History provide viewers with access to educational content, including documentaries, author interviews, and historical reenactments, making it a valuable addition for those interested in the nation’s past and present political landscape.
The MyNews Genre Pack, launched earlier this year as part of DIRECTV’s genre-specific offerings, already includes a robust lineup of channels such as CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and NewsNation, catering to viewers who prioritize staying informed on current events and policy matters. The addition of C-SPAN3, effective immediately, further diversifies the pack’s offerings, providing subscribers with a richer selection of programming that delves into the intricacies of American governance and historical context.
This update follows DIRECTV’s broader strategy to enhance its genre-based packages, which began with the introduction of the MySports pack in January 2025, followed by MyEntertainment, MiEspañol, and MyKids packs. The MyNews pack’s expansion comes on the heels of a recent agreement with Paramount Global, which brought additional channels like CBS and MTV to other genre packs, demonstrating DIRECTV’s ongoing efforts to refine its offerings in response to consumer demand for affordable, targeted content.
Subscribers to the MyNews Genre Pack can access C-SPAN3 starting today, with no changes to the existing $39.99 monthly price. DIRECTV encourages customers to explore the updated lineup and take advantage of the pack’s free trial offer to experience the enhanced news programming firsthand.
