Usually C-SPAN uses 3 cameras to cover a hearing.

For some other notable hearings, like #scotus confirmation hearings (Gorsuch & Kavanaugh): 5 cameras.

Today (just like Wednesday): @cspan is using 7 cameras for #impeachment hearing. pic.twitter.com/FeJMNyjZsf

Quotable

“I had a customer come in one time. Very mad, very rude, assertive. He wasn’t getting any satisfaction. I really don’t know what his problem was. Finally, he said, ‘I’m tired of dealing with the poodles. I want to talk to the big dog.’ My head tech buzzes me, and I come down the stairs and ask if I can help him. He says, ‘I said I want to talk to the big dog, not another poodle.’ I said, ‘You better get down on your hands and knees and start talking to God because it doesn’t get any higher than me!”’
