BOISE — Due to scheduling issues, the air date for a debate between U.S. Senate candidates on Idaho Public Television has been moved from Oct. 4 to Oct. 5. The schedule for the "Idaho Debates," all airing statewide on Idaho Public Television, remains otherwise unchanged. It includes:

Oct. 3: Idaho Attorney General candidates Raul Labrador, Republican, and Tom Arkoosh, Democrat, airing live statewide at 8 p.m. MT, 7 p.m. PT

Oct. 5: U.S. Senate candidates Mike Crapo, GOP incumbent; David Roth, Democrat; and Scott 'Oh' Cleveland, independent; airing at 8 p.m. in both time zones. Due to scheduling issues, that debate will be taped Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. MT; it will be available live online.

Oct. 24: Superintendent of Public Instruction candidates Debbie Critchfield, Republican; and Terry Gilbert, Democrat, airing live statewide at 8 p.m. MT, 7 p.m. PT

Oct. 28: Lieutenant Governor candidates Scott Bedke, Republican; and Terri Pickens Manweiler, Democrat, airing live statewide at 8 p.m. MT, 7 p.m. PT

The "Idaho Debates" are a three-decade-plus collaboration co-sponsored by the Idaho Press Club, the League of Women Voters, and Idaho's public universities; the debates air statewide on Idaho Public Television. This year, after they air, all the debates will re-air with Spanish closed captioning. Spanish CC debates will also be available online. Check idahoptv.org for the schedule.
