INTRODUCING THE MONTANA PUBLIC AFFAIRS NETWORK (MPAN)


The 2001 Legislature established a state public affairs television and
Internet broadcasting service "to provide Montana citizens with increased
access to unbiased information about state government deliberations and
public policy events through unedited television coverage and other
communications technologies". The Legislative Services Division administers a
contract with MontanaPBS to provide production services for the channel
formerly known as "TVMT". The channel went through a re-branding process in
2018, and is now called the Montana Public Affairs Network "MPAN". The
Legislative Council assists the Division in monitoring the broadcasting
service to ensure that broadcasts are in compliance with the principles of
good conduct enumerated in law. There are also Programming Policy and
Operating Guidelines in place that have been adopted by MontanaPBS and
Legislative Services.

During the session, MPAN provides gavel-to-gavel daily coverage of the Senate
and House floor sessions and several committee meetings. This C-Span style
programming is distributed on closed circuit television within the Capitol
and to cable television subscribers in many communities in Montana.
