They aren't useless. Their mandate is to broadcast sessions of
the U.S. House and Senate, respectively. When those groups are
in session, C-SPAN has to carry them.

This topic just came up in another group, so I tracked down
this info:

http://www.cspan.org/about/viewer_info/index.asp?code=ISCHED

"How does C-SPAN determine its schedule? The C-SPAN networks are
committed to televising the U.S. House of Representatives and the
U.S. Senate when they are in session..."

Frequently, either C-SPAN or C-SPAN 2 is available for live
hearings. Yesterday was one of those times when they weren't.
