NO MORE DEBATE-AND-SWITCH

The television version of The Debaters has been airing off-and-on at different times on different nights, first during the hockey playoffs and then sporadically during the summer. No more! Now they've found their official time slot which will be, STARTING TONIGHT, EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 9:30 ON CBC TV.

And to show off my insider-ness I've got a list of the topics and comics lined up from Sep. to Dec.

So peruse below (and spot ye olde blog host's appearance right around Thanksgiving on October 12th).

And tell your friends to support the show and spark a tradition of debating with no signs of abating.
