We learn this from Jon Friedman’s Marketwatch interview with Brian Lamb:

When you ask other network executives to discuss their programming, they’ll invariably point to comedies and dramas. As if to underscore the quirky nature of C-SPAN, Lamb told me: “Our coverage of funerals is popular.”

Popular with the people — but how about the critics?  Alas, yesterday’s Emmy nominations left out C-SPAN’s outstanding achievement in the field of Gerald Ford.
