Just when us Southwest Virginians finally think we will get to see the October 9th Debate live, our local NBC affiliate, WCYB, comes up with the great idea to run it on a delay just a few minutes before midnight on Sunday (11:35 PM). 

Regardless of which candidate you support for Governor, please call (276 645-1555) or email (triwcybvc@wcyb.tv) WCYB and request they air the debate live on October 9, 2005. 

They have "hinted" that they will run the debate live if enough people call them and ask. 

Here's the current TV schedule for the debate:


Richmond
NBC 12 - WWBT
7:00pm Sunday

Charlottesville
NBC 29 - WVIR
ABC 16 - WVAW
7:00pm Sunday

Roanoke
NBC 10 - WSLS

Hampton Roads

Cox Cable Channel 15 - WHRO
7:00pm Sunday

Tri-Cities
NBC 5 - WCYB (delay - 11:35pm on Sunday)
Call 276-645-1555 to ask WCYB to air the debate live.

Northern Virginia
NBC 4 - WRC (delay - 12:00 midnight)
NewsChannel 8
7:00pm Sunday
Call 202-885-4111 to ask WRC to air the debate live.

Virginia Public Radio and other radio stations across the state

Be sure and call WCYB and tell them you want the debate broadcast live for all Virginians to view instead of at midnight.
