Brian Lamb

I took some time out this evening to watch some C-SPAN. The moderator of the program, Brian Lamb was interviewing Christopher Hitchens, who I always find fascinating…

It reminded me of this piece I saw several weeks ago by Paul Bedard, published on April 11, 2009 that “Even at 67, C-SPAN Boss Brian Lamb Isn't Slowing Down.” / Kevin dayhoff April 26, 2009

With 30 years under his belt, Brian Lamb isn't ready to retire just because he's 67. He still wants cameras in courts and in secret press gatherings

Sixty-seven must be the new 47 for C-SPAN's Brian Lamb. He's sounds as feisty as ever as he looks to expand the cable's reach to federal courts and closed-door press events. When will he retire? "I have no idea," says the man behind the public service network that just turned 30. "I do enjoy it. I'm in good health and still have all the energy I ever had."
