Boy, that's pretty interesting. I wonder if the networks offered a choice? That would be unheard of.

I know that, unlike previous debates, all of the networks who did carry it had the option of taking all of the cameras in what we call clean or iso feeds and switch them as they saw fit instead of everyone taking the same feed.

If I find out any more, I'll post it.

I read in a Survivor newsgroup that it was up to the local channels on whether they carried the debate or not. I know that in Detroit, at least CBS and NBC carried it (along with PBS). I didn't check the others. When I saw NBC wasn't sticking to the rule of showing only the candidate who was speaking at the time, I stuck with that coverage.

They did. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, C-Span, and all the cable news channels.

I watched it on C-Span. They had the split screen so we could see all the reaction shots. :)

Did anyone hear anything other than "mixed signals" come from the mouth of either candidate? If this were a drinking game, I would have passed out so fast!
