To do this, YouTube has partnered with ABC News and the debates will stream on ABC News’ YouTube channel and YouTube’s Election Hub. The four debates, which will start on October 3 at 9pm ET, will be available for YouTube viewers around the world. In addition to ABC News, YouTube’s election page will also feature commentary and analysis from seven other partners: Al Jazeera English, BuzzFeed, Larry King, New York Times, Phil DeFranco, Univision and the Wall Street Journal. Univision, Google notes, will also offer a live translated version of the debates on its channel. YouTube’s election hub, which is only one part of Google’s larger set of election-focused tools, launched in August, just ahead of the Republican and Democratic conventions.
