MSNBC to air two Florida debates…
Variety’s Michael Learmonth writes about MSNBC carrying two Florida debates in January 2008…
The Republican and Democratic debates, scheduled for Jan. 23 and 25, will air locally on NBC stations in Florida and nationally on MSNBC.
Debates come the day after New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 22 and a week before the Florida primary, which was moved up to Jan. 29 from early March in a bid to give Florida voters more clout in the electoral process.
South Carolina is also holding a primary on Jan. 29, followed by 24 more states a week later.
The debate is co-sponsored by NBC, Leadership Florida, the Florida Press Assn. and Florida Public Broadcasting Service.
