Fox Business News to Live Stream Republican Debate
Since its inception, 21st Century Fox, which doesn’t disclose revenue or profit at FBN, has invested millions of dollars into its business-focused network. This debate is going to be hosted by the FOX Business Network and will broadcast live on your local FOX TV. Recently, FBN passed the 80 million distribution mark, while CNBC has roughly 93 million households in the U.S. It will coincide with the main GOP debate, which will be held at 9 p.m. ET at the North Charleston Coliseum in SC.
They will also livestream it for desktop and mobile devices on their website, FOXbusiness.com. Fox announced the candidate lineups Monday.
Undercard debate: Fiorina, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. Marco Rubio of Florida, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, and Gov. John Kasich of OH, in the prime-time debate. Neil Cavuto, an anchor and managing editor of the network, and Maria Bartiromo, an anchor and global markets editor, will reprise their roles as moderators in Charleston, South Carolina, on Thursday night. Murdoch was clearly hoping to find lightning in a bottle for a second time, having dethroned CNN from the top of the cable news rankings just five years after the start of the decidedly conservative Fox News Channel.
Now, in both instances, Cruz got in a few personal jabs at Trump about his fall in the polls, his desperation, his past liberal views, etc. Fox Business’ previous debate coverage drew 13.5 million total viewers and 3.7 million viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic more desired by advertisers. Know your limit and drink in moderation, because as Surgeon General Vivek Murthy points out, “You simply can’t drink every time one of these guys says something silly…”
We believe, the Jan 14 Republican presidential debates will attract a larger audience.
