The FLORIDA Channel is a public media service that focuses on Florida’s government and public affairs. It is funded by the state legislature and operated by WFSU-TV, which is part of Florida State University. Their studios are located right on the 9th floor of the Florida Capitol building in Tallahassee, giving them a front-row seat to everything happening in the state government.
What makes this channel stand out is the "fly on the wall" experience it offers. They broadcast everything live and unedited, without any added commentary or spin. You can watch entire sessions of the House and Senate, Supreme Court arguments, and Cabinet meetings exactly as they happen. It’s all about transparency, allowing people to see firsthand how laws are made and how the state is being run.
Beyond just live meetings, the channel produces over 2,500 hours of original content every year, including their "Capitol Update" program and vital news during hurricane season. Often called the "C-SPAN of Florida," it has become the go-to resource for citizens, journalists, and researchers who want to keep an eye on the government through cable TV or their online livestream.
