BBC Parliament is a British television channel from the BBC. It broadcasts live and recorded coverage of the British House of Commons and House of Lords, the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly. It also rebroadcasts some material from the equivalent US channel, C-Span. It was previously known as the Parliamentary Channel.
It broadcasts on digital cable and satellite, and on a quarter sized screen (shared with BBC News 24 multiscreens) on digital terrestrial ( Freeview). It used to broadcast as audio-only on digital terrestrial due to lack of capacity. It used to have wide availability on analog cable networks, but has gradually declined.
It is unique amongst the BBC channels in being entirely produced by an independent company, Millbank Studios, based in Millbank.
