This season’s series of presidential candidate debates have almost entirely excluded one viewer demographic: cord-cutters.
But Tuesday’s debate, hosted by Fox Business News and the Wall Street Journal, will be accessible to all viewers, even those without a cable subscription. The Republican candidate debate will be available to live stream without a log in on FoxBusiness.com at 9 p.m. ET.
There will also be a “first forum” for candidates weighing in under 2.5% in the polls, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and former Sen. Rick Santorum, according to Fox Business.
The network also plans to share the debate with a number of other cable and satellite networks, including DirecTV, Cable One, and Wide Open West.
Previously, in the first GOP candidate debate on Fox News, those without a subscription were blocked from viewing; CNBC’s Republican debate also blocked cord-cutters. Only CNN’s hosted debates, one Democratic and one Republican, allowed those without cable—a demographic that skews young—to follow along.
