From the Daily News:Queens Public Television has finally decided to air a debate taped two weeks ago between Queens Borough President hopefuls Melinda Katz and Tony Arcabascio.
The station had pulled the sparring match after third-party candidate Everly Brown complained he was not included.
“Mr. Everly Brown was invited to take part in the debate but failed to participate thereby forfeiting his equal access or ‘equal time’ to our channel,” said Clifford Jacobs, programming and access services manager at QPTV. “Once invited, it is incumbent on the candidate to appear.”
Brown’s campaign manager, Elhadj Bah, said the station had never officially notified the candidate.
Here's the NY1 debate.

All those complaints paid off.
Saw NY1 debate last night. Arcabascio would make a good BP.
Damn right he would make a good BP. He is intelligent, has thoughtful answers, knows Queens well, has a love for it, can handle himself very well and is not beholden to developers.
VOTE FOR TONY.
How many voters actually watch QPTV? how many know that it even exists?

First of all, a lot of older people watch it, having little else to do in retirement, and the older segment comes out to vote. Secondly, that's not the point. You have to keep pushing back at the county organization's pressure.
