Here’s how to watch our TV debates!
The Brooklyn Paper
by Gersh Kuntzman
BCAT will be airing a series of taped debates next week, a collaboration between the Community Newspaper Group and Brooklyn Independent Television.
All the major races will be cablecast on BCAT, which is channel 56 on Time Warner customers and channel 69 for Cablevision subscribers:
City Council District 33 (currently held by David Yassky): Monday, Aug. 17.
City Council District 39 (currently held by Bill DeBlasio): Tuesday, Aug. 18.
City Council District 45 (currently held by Kendall Stewart): Wednesday, Aug. 19.
Comptroller (featuring Yassky, John Liu, Melinda Katz and David Weprin): Thursday, Aug. 20.
Public Advocate (featuring DeBlasio, Mark Green, Norman Siegel and Eric Gioia): Friday, Aug. 21 (repeated on Tuesday, Aug. 25).
All broadcasts will be at 9 pm. And all shows will be available online roughly 24 hours after its initial airing at www.bricartsmedia.org/BITspecials and the Community Newspaper Group’s new political Web site BoroPolitics.com.
It ain’t Lincoln vs. Douglas, but in the days after the debates were taped, several have made headlines, including the 39th Council debate, where leading candidates Brad Lander and Josh Skaller went at it over Atlantic Yards and the schooling of Skaller’s son, Wolf.
