What Time Does The CNN Democratic Presidential Debate Start Tonight? Can I Watch Without Cable?
The first Democratic presidential debate of the 2016 season is tonight. Here’s everything you need to know about it, including time, channel, and viewing options in case you don’t have cable.
Tonight, Tuesday, October 13 starting at 9:00 PM EDT CNN will air live from Las Vegas the first Democratic presidential debate of 2016.Â
UPDATE: CNN is advertising the debate as starting at 8:30 PM, but most reports state their coverage begins at 8:30 and the debate starts at 9:00. But better safe than sorry…
You can tune in to CNN, CNN International, or CNN en Español on cable TV starting at 8:30 PM. Check here for your local cable channel.Â
You can also watch by visiting CNN online on your desktop, laptop, or mobile device. CNN says you do not need to be a cable subscriber to watch, although you’ll of course need an Internet connection or wi-fi. If you are a cable subscriber you can also watch online by visiting CNNgo online.
If you’re a social media buff you can follow or post your reactions using the hashtag #DemDebate on Twitter or Facebook.
On stage will be Hillary Clinton at the center podium. Bernie Sanders will be to the left of Clinton (on her right) and Lincoln Chafee will be to the right. On the far left will be Martin O’Malley, and on the far right, Jim Webb.
