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]
