I CAN'T HEAR HALF OF WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ADJUST THE MIKES?!?!?!

Tried to watch but the commercials keep breaking in. Bye

Sorry about the low audio for a bit there. There's a great crew here at the debate running all of the audio and they boosted it for everyone.

There's an ad every few minutes; the streaming live cuts off constantly. This is discouraging and not a well-done debate.

Too bad - was looking forward to this - but technically it is a mess to watch or listen to.

Well, I've tried to get it going again, FIVE times. I give up. I'm turning it off. How disappointing!

My feed comes in and out and freezes and commercials are placed right over key sections so I am missing much of what they are saying. Will the entire debate be posted someplace for review?

Yep! The good news is that we're recording this debate for you to watch live later. We're also providing Bay News 9 with a live feed, so that they can make it available to their viewers on cable. I hope that helps.

Thanks for tuning in everyone! Debate organizers are taking an intermission right at the moment, but if you are experiencing any technical difficulties, we are also filming it for you to watch without interruption. We will let you know as soon as it's available!

HI everyone. We're monitoring the stream here to make sure it stays live. Sorry to hear that some of you are having problems. The occasional commercials are how the streaming partner we're using makes money, and I appreciate your feedback that you find it annoying. We'll see if we can do something about it next time.

Chris,
I, for one, appreciate the effort the PATCH has made to allow me to have a feel for how the debate has gone.
The first time we use any technology, there are always glitches. We only learn when something doesn't go just as planned.
I have no idea why Bay News 9 isn't carrying the debate live. If it were not for the PATCH, I'm not certain I could have experienced what I have in the last hour or two.
Again, thank you.
