Texas gubernatorial debate
« on: October 06, 2006, 06:03:24 PM »
It's friday night in Texas..the friday night lights are shining all over texas - lots of people out for football. Plus, it the Texas-Ou weeked...Big pary in DFW.

The Texas gubernatorial debate is alos on - 7pm central US

The company producing the debate, well they're being kinda stingy on who sees what, and what companys and affiliates can broadcast it live. No internet broadcast of the debate...no video on demand... I'm not sure, but I don't think it can even be televised in AUSTIN,TX...by local networks...correct me if I'm wrong.
You might be able to pick it up if you have an extended cable service or directtv.

So, the big question for texans - is the debate being televised over an "on-air" station in your area? Is it being broadcast live?

Where I'm at - i'll only be able to get it on c-span.

The one debate Rick Perry agrees too...and the majorty of the people won't be able to see it, or will be watching their kids fottbal game.

gotta love politics. Rick Perrys gonna get his butt handed to him in a debate, and he doesn't want anyone to see it...lol

No - I'm about 80 miles north of houston - Aggieland...

I can only find it on a pbs station.

Belo Broadcasting is based in Dallas - maybe that's why it's on ABC :) Evidently they're only broadcasting through affiliates of Belo braodcasting - so if there's no belo affiliate in your area - you're screwed.

I really want to go watch it in a bar, but you know what they say about drinking and politics .....

What peeves me is that fact that acompany has the "rights" to a debate. The debate should be "for the people". I'm sure any Austin new coporation could've filmed it any day anytime and uplinked it for broadcast.

Actually, the State of Texas should've paid for the production, and make sure it's availible all over the state to any local/regional broadcasting station. I'd love to find out how many people this debate is actually available to. I mean presidential debates are crammed down your throats by every station in America...

Corporations and politics....
