Big Ratings Battle Tomorrow
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2020 10:47 am
Donald Trump and Joe Biden will be appearing at dueling town hall meetings tomorrow on two different networks at the same time.
After the scheduled debate tomorrow fell through, Biden scheduled an ABC town hall at 8:00 eastern in Philadelphia hosted by George Stephanopolous. Biden's event will be 90 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of commentary. Yesterday, Trump scheduled an NBC town hall in Miami at the same time hosted by Savannah Guthrie. Trump's event will be one hour.
MSNBC and CNBC will also televise Trump's event, and both events will be available live on various streaming platforms.
The reason for the time discrepancy is that both candidates appeared earlier on separate days on those networks and they are being given the same amount of time as their opponent received last month.
It will be interesting to see what sort of ratings these two events get.
