Presidential Debate - September - November 2016 - where and when

from WASH. POST List-serv:

The first debate, which takes place the Monday after next (9/26/2016) at Hofstra University, happens to fall on the 56th anniversary of the first televised debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. In many ways, that was a parallel press conference because the two did not engage with one another. The rules have changed in recent decades, especially since the creation of the Commission on Presidential Debates in 1988, to allow for more clashes.
This year’s hosts are NBC’s Lester Holt, CBS’s Elaine Quijano, ABC’s Martha Raddatz, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, and Fox’s Chris Wallace.
Janet Brown, the longtime executive director of the Commission on Presidential Debates, said these five were picked because the commissioners think they can “get out of the way and let the candidates have the attention.” One of the selection criteria, she explained at the Notre Dame event, is: “They need to understand for better or worse that their names are not on the ballot.”
Each moderator chooses the topics they will cover, and Brown said Lester Holt’s picks for the first debate will be announced next Monday (September 19, 2016).
