The Pentagon Channel is free, in the public domain, and accessible 24/7 to all
U.S. cable and satellite providers. There is no charge asked or required to
provide this valuable service to your military audience. Since the Pentagon
Channel is produced by a U.S. Government organization, it cannot be referenced
or used in any manner that may be considered an endorsement or a perceived
endorsement of any product or service.
