At What Time and On What Channel is the Oct 15 presidential debate?

13 October 2008

In case you were wondering about when the next presidential debate is taking place and on what television channels it is showing:

The October 15th presidential debate between Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain on the Hofstra University campus in Long Island, New York, is scheduled to take place at 8 pm Central Time (9 pm Eastern Time, 7 pm Mountain Time, 6 pm Pacific Time).

The presidential debate will be held in a standard debate format and will last 90 minutes. The debate will be broken into nine, nine-minute segments. The moderator will introduce a topic and allow each candidate two minutes to comment. After these initial answers, the moderator will facilitate an open discussion of the topic for the remaining five minutes, ensuring that both candidates receive an equal amount of time to comment.

The debate moderator will be Bob Schieffer of CBS, and the topic will be domestic and economic policy. The debate will be aired on television channels ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and BBC America.

This is the final debate and may be John McCain’s last big chance to change the momentum of the election in his favor. Voters so far have perceived Barack Obama as the more informed candidate when it comes to economic policy. Watch for lots of numbers being thrown around and some aggressive debating.

When And On What Channel is the Presidential Debate?

26 September 2008

In case you were wondering about when tonight’s presidential debate is taking place and on what television channels it is showing:

Tonight’s presidential debate between Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford, Miss. is scheduled to take place at 8 pm Central Time (9 pm Eastern Time, 7 pm Mountain Time, 6 pm Pacific Time). The debate will be aired on television channels ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and BBC America.

Apparently, tonight’s presidential debate will take place whether or not John McCain decides to show up.

According to the National Review’s Rich Lowry, the Ole Miss community is seriously peeved with McCain’s attempt to postpone. A presidential debate event is costly for the university and takes a great deal of planning. Look for the crowd to be more hostile than usual towards McCain.
