West Virginia Public Broadcasting (WVPB) plans to provide live coverage of the first televised debate between GOP Senate President Bill Cole and Democratic candidate Jim Justice.
The debate is scheduled from 7 – 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4. It is sponsored by the West Virginia Press Association and AARP West Virginia.
West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s Ashton Marra will moderate the debate, and West Virginia Public Broadcasting is providing the pool feed of the event for other media.
The debate is scheduled to be broadcast on WVPB’s statewide television and radio network, and streamed online at wvpublic.org. WVPB reporters also plan to live-tweet the event from our @wvpublicnews Twitter account.
