CeaseFire, where the Right and Left come together, launches this fall on C-SPAN
WASHINGTON, D.C. – C-SPAN will launch CeaseFire, a new weekly television program where Democrats and Republicans come together to solve problems and discuss the great challenges facing our nation.
Debuting in Fall 2025, CeaseFire is an unconventional new television program designed to help address the division in America’s political discourse. C-SPAN will offer viewers across the country something radically different during a time when division and dysfunction dominate the national conversation.
“In a media landscape that too often rewards outrage over understanding, CeaseFire stands out by showing what respectful, principled conversation looks like,” said C-SPAN CEO Sam Feist.
“C-SPAN may be the only television network in 2025 uniquely equipped to air a program like this—operating as a non-profit public service, we aren’t driven by ratings or drama, but by a mission to inform, educate and empower an engaged citizenry.”
CeaseFire will often feature members of Congress from opposite sides of the aisle and national figures who typically wouldn’t be paired, sitting down together to honestly discuss what they agree on, not what they don’t. This program creates a space for two leaders— dedicated to respectful dialogue—to explore common ground, spotlight bipartisan cooperation, and model the constructive behavior essential to a thriving democracy.
