Bloomberg to Debate on NY1

By: Bob Hardt

Mayor Bloomberg has agreed to debate the winner of tonight’s Democratic primary twice next month – including a NY1 showdown at El Museo del Barrio.

Moderated by NY1 political anchor Dominic Carter, the debate will include panelists from WNYC Radio, the New York Daily News, NY1, and NY1 Noticias.

The debate – to be held on Oct. 13th at the historic museum – will feature NY1’s trademark lightning round where the candidates will only be allowed to answer “yes” or “no” to a question.

The debate, sanctioned by the city’s Campaign Finance Board, is also cosponsored by Citizens Union and Time Warner Cable.

The mayor has also agreed to a second Campaign Finance Board debate on Oct. 27th, which will be sponsored by WABC-TV.

For more on next month’s debates – and for all of tonight’s primary results – watch “Road to City Hall” at 7 p.m. Our wall-to-wall coverage of the primary begins at 9 p.m.
