"The first GOP gubernatorial debate is open only to invited guests but will air live at 7 p.m. Tuesday on KNTV-TV (Ch. 11), KGO-TV (Ch. 7) and KQED-FM (88.5). KRON-TV (Ch. 4) will air the debate at 10 p.m. "
I presume that means most stations in the state are broadcasting it.
I saw this story in the San Jose Mercury News about Bay Area coverage.

Bill Jones campaign was long ago dead. This is a Riordan-Simon race so pick a side. The choice is easy - Simon For Governor!
Los Angeles Times: Simon Receives Key Endorsement - Blasts Riordan and Jones on Taxes
Bye, bye, Jonesy.
Bill Simon is a realy conservative, has stood up for his principles against all the pundits who say he's too conservative to win. He's smart and articulate and a good speaker. He can motivate people now and in November. And, although Jones has been in office forever, Simon has put forth far more detailed and conservative minded policy proposals on taxes, the budget crisis, transportation, and a host of other issues.*Jones pushed through the largest tax increase in 1991 as Assembly Republican Leader. If that's the kind of leadership he's proposing now, I don't want it.*Jones has never been a leader on conservative issues like guns and abortion; in fact, he was quoted in the Sacramento Bee saying that while he considers himself pro-life, he wouldn't rule out taxpayer funded abortions.
*Jones endorsed George W. Bush, then when the race was heating up switched his endorsement to John McCain. If he can't be trusted to keep his promises and commitments in the Republican Primary, can we trust him as our Governor?
*Jones has never been a good fundraiser, and while he comes off as a nice guy -- and he probably is -- he's also boring and unmotivating. Not the kind of guy to rally the troops against Davis.
I'm sorry Jones career is over, but that's not a good enough reason to nominate him in March. He would simply lose in November.
This is the #1 reason Jones is LAST on my list.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DEBATE
(01-22-2002) - The first debate will provide many voters with their first glimpse of Secretary of State Bill Jones, former L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan and businessman Bill Simon.
The primary is March 5.
A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows four out of ten likely voters still haven't decided who they'll choose on the ballot.
The Republican hopefuls also are trying to woo independent voters, who can vote for any party in the semi-open primary.
Political analysts say the debates are particularly crucial for Simon and Jones, who trail front-runner Riordan in most polls.
Tuesday's one-hour debate will air at 7:00 p.m. on TV stations in all of California's major markets.
A second debate will be held February 13 at Cal State Long Beach.
The primary winner will challenge Democratic Governor Gray Davis on November 5.
