ALL Democratic debates will be broadcast nationally.

I don't know where the idea that they're only going to be broadcast locally came from, but here's the schedule:

Nov.14- CBS


Dec.19- ABC


Jan. 17- NBC


FEB.11- Univision



March 9- PBS

It was listed incorrectly as channel 464. UNID

I tried 402, and I do receive that channel. UNIe

Have a safe and pleasant day.

As recently as posts today. I'm sure that is the reason the proper information is being posted here.

The cable-station CNN debate matched around 15 million.

The 3 networks are public broadcast so depending on counter-programming should get some viewership.

November broadcast appears to be Saturday.

If Alabama is playing, Hill and Bern might as well stay home!

....person non "permit", "potty-less" but lots of "bullhorns" DC Mall event is scheduled for the Thanksgiving weekend/Saturday. I guess it's all about priorities.

And I was not happy about it.

I still think DWS is rigging the machinery in favor of Clinton but at least it's not blatant.
