      Hi Nereyda:
      Thank you for your question. The debate audience is by invitation only, with seats allotted by the sponsoring San Joaquin Valley Gubernatorial Forum — a nonpartisan partnership that includes Fresno State — to its five member organizations and to the two nominees. Other seats were made available to students and to members of the public who submitted questions that will be asked of the nominees. The event is being taped by Univision-Fresno and will be aired at 4 p.m. Saturday by Univision-affiliated radio and TV stations throughout California and online at Univision.com. — Lanny Larson, University Communications

    How do I get to watch/hear the second gubernatorial debate. Univision’s webpage has translated it into Spanish in a printed form; however, the actual video of the debate is not available. A deservice to the english speaking community.
