Senator Deb Fischer advocates for RFD-TV on the Senate floor

All U.S. Senators can now watch RFD-TV because the channel has been added to the Senate TV Network.

Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska spoke to the importance of it on the Senate floor.

“RFDTV is one of the pre-eminent sources of rural news in the country. Networks like RFDTV work hard to cover issues affecting the agriculture sector and rural communities. The senior senator from Minnesota and I, we approved its addition to the Senate TV Network because that unique perspective & that expertise is a must-have here in Washington.”

In recent weeks, a bipartisan group in the House introduced a resolution to protect rural TV content following the Senate’s version. You can ask your legislators to co-sponsor SR 113 and HR 451.
