Clinton and Trump presidential debate will also stream on Facebook Live

If you’re one of the many people who no longer have a television in your home and are anxious about missing the debate coverage, Twitter has got your back. The companies will split revenue from ads in the pre- and post-debate coverage. During the first 2012 presidential debate, 67.2 million people watched on TV at home and 10 million tweets were sent, making it the most watched and tweeted in history.

The social-media company will ensure that livestream viewers can check out a “scrolling list of related tweets automatically culled from the service”, noted Variety.

As live video platforms continue to make a play for the distribution of high-profile events, ABC News announced today that it will partner with Facebook to broadcast the four general-election debates, which include three presidential debates and one vice presidential tete-a-tete.

The partnership will begin Monday when the first Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump showdown is scheduled to take place at Hofstra University. Twitter already has a streaming relationship with Bloomberg and worked with CBS earlier this year to stream both the Democratic and Republican conventions. The social network has also partnered with the NFL, which is its biggest streaming deal at the moment, and the two entities debuted “Thursday Night Football” on the Twitter app last week.

Facebook will also have a physical presence at these debates.

And don’t forget, most of these news orgs also have smartphone apps. The first general-election debate is scheduled for September 26.

YouTube will live stream the debates and rely on some of its most popular creators, including The Young Turks and Complex News, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be at the debates.

Twitter is also fighting against Facebook this time around – which will also be streaming the debates – although the former has an edge here due to its penchant for public commentary and availability of platforms like Apple TV.
