Multiple cable providers have reached agreements with FOX Business Network to unbundle the channel so their entire subscriber bases will have access to the channel for the next Republican debate.
On Tuesday, November 10, DIRECTV, Suddenlink, Mediacom, Frontier, Wide Open West, and Cable One, along with a significant number of National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) member companies, will unbundle FOX Business Network, and allow their subscribers to see Ben Carson face off against Donald Trump.
We are grateful that our distribution partners, like us at FOX Business Network, recognize the importance of providing the debate to as many subscribers as possible,” Tim Carry, executive vice president of distribution for FBN and FOX News Channel, said in a statement. “The debate falls at a pivotal time in the election cycle and through the help and support of these partners, many more of their customers will have access to it on November 10th.”
Beginning at 6 p.m. ET for the undercard and 9 p.m. ET, the debates will focus on jobs, taxes and the general health of the economy, as well as domestic and international policy issues. They will take place live from the Milwaukee Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on FBN.
