About CPAC:
CPAC was created by the cable industry in the Fall of 1992 as the Cable
Parliamentary Channel, an experimental service whose primary mandate was to

national programming undertaking, and in 1996 we re-launched as the Cable
Public Affairs Channel to reflect an expanded schedule of unique public
affairs programming.
