As promised, debate details

I've managed to gather some of the details of the major debates taking place this campaign season. There seem to be two big ones. The first will be held Sunday, Oct. 15, in Casper, sponsored by the Casper Star-Tribune and KCWY-TV, Casper's Channel 13. In addition, Wyoming Public Television is sponsoring a series of debates Sunday, Oct. 22, through Tuesday, Oct. 24. More details:
The Star-Tribune/KCWY debate will be held in the Gertrude Krampert Theater at Casper College on Oct. 15. The event will be open to the public. The tentative schedule is for the gubernatorial candidates to start at noon, the U.S. Senate candidates to start at 1:15 p.m., and finally the U.S. House candidates at 3 p.m. Moderators will be Star-Tribune Editor Clark Walworth and KCWY News Director Shauna Bales. The newspaper and TV station will run subsequent news reports on the debates, but Channel 13 will also tape them and show them in their entirety over the next three Saturdays. KCWY will air the Freudenthal-Hunkins debate at 6 p.m. Oct. 21; the Groutage-Thomas debate at 6 p.m. Oct. 28; and the Trauner-Cubin debate at 6 p.m. Nov. 4.
The Wyoming Public Television debates will be held in the Ballroom A at the Parkway Plaza Hotel in Casper. Moderators will include Public Television's Geoff O'Gara, Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck and Renny MacKay, and K2-TV's Amie Miller. The Wyoming Public Television broadcast schedule is as follows:
Sunday, Oct. 22: 7 p.m., U.S. House; 8 p.m., U.S. Senate (actually, the Senate debate will take place at 3 p.m. but will air again that night at 8 p.m.)
Monday, Oct. 23: 7 p.m., Governor; 8 p.m., Superintendent of Public Instruction
Tuesday, Oct. 24: 7 p.m., State Auditor; 7:30 p.m., State Treasurer; 8 p.m. "Wyoming Perspectives," featuring the constitutional amendments on this year's ballot and the races in general.
These debates are likely to air on Wyoming Public Radio as well, and possibly on K2, and as soon as I nail down that information, I'll update this post.

Oct 22, 2006 | Janet Maxwell | maxwell@fiberpipe.netBill, It would be helpful to know where to write Geoff O'Gara to ask a candidate a question. Do you have that information available? Thanks!
