With the New York City mayoral race coming in November, the New York City Campaign Finance Board issued it's debate schedule. Debates will be held on WCBS 2 and WNBC 4, but WABC 7 was left out in an unexpected move by the Board. WABC, the number one station in New York, drawing the most viewers in most timeslots, was not selected for a debate. That didn't stop the team at Channel 7.
WABC managed to bring all of the candidates on board for an independent debate, one not organized by the Finance Board. Here is the Channel 7 debate schedule:
Comptroller, Democratic: Stream on 7online.com Friday, August 9th at 10am, broadcast on Channel 7 Sunday, August 11 at 11am.
Mayor, Republican: Stream on 7online.com Friday, August 9th at 1pm, broadcast on Channel 7 Sunday, August 11 at 12pm.
Mayor, Democrat: Stream live on 7online.com & broadcast live on Channel 7 on Tuesday, August 13 at 7pm.
Channel 7 is asking viewers to submit questions for the debates. Viewers can submit by email, Twitter, or Instagram. Visit the Channel 7 website for more information on submitting a question.
The sponsors of the Channel 7 debates are WABC-TV, the New York Daily News, Noticias Univision 41, and the New York City League of Women Voters.
