Telemundo To Co-Host First Dem Presidential Debate

NBC News reports:

Telemundo in June will become the first Spanish-language network to host a Democratic presidential debate. The network will co-host the first Democratic 2020 presidential debate with NBC News and MSNBC, and it will be broadcast live in English and Spanish over TV and digital platforms.

NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo will broadcast the debate simultaneously on back-to-back weeknights in June, should multiple debate stages be necessary.

“The choice is not by accident: Latinos have become a critical constituency for any aspiring political candidate in the United States, and Telemundo is the leading Hispanic network in the country,” wrote Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal International Group and Telemundo Enterprises.
