Vice Presidential Debate broadcast time and channel information

Joe Biden and Paul RyanDue to some requests, I want to clarify the TV broadcast information for the upcoming Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan on Thursday, October 11, 2012. To put it succinctly, the channels and time will be exactly the same as for the Presidential debates. The VP debate will be 90 minutes following a similar format as the Presidential debates. The topics have not yet been released but will be a mix of foreign and domestic issues.
