posted on 7.10.2012

WFAA-TV Dallas-Fort Worth, as well as the other Texas Belo Corp. stations KHOU-TV in Houston, KENS-TV in San Antonio and KVUE-TV in Austin, and Texas Cable News (TXCN), will broadcast a one-hour debate on Tuesday, July 17, 7pm CDT featuring GOP U.S. Senate candidates Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz. 

Texas voters will decide between Dewhurst and Cruz as the state’s GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate in a run-off election on July 31.

While there are TV market restrictions in Austin, DFW, Houston and San Antonio, Belo has arranged for the majority of Texas radio and TV stations to have free and unrestricted access to the debate to air the event in its entirety or to use portions in station newscasts.
