FOX News Channel (FNC) will present a town hall with 2020
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on
Monday, April 15th from 6:30PM/ET-7:30PM/ET in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania. Co-anchored by Special Report’s Bret Baier
and The Story’s Martha MacCallum, the town hall will focus on
the economy and jobs.
In March of 2016, Sanders notably participated in FNC’s only
Democratic town hall during the 2016 presidential election cycle
alongside former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. According to
Nielsen Media Research, that town hall averaged 2.6 million viewers
and nearly 500,000 in the 25-54 demographic, beating CNN and MSNBC
combined in overall viewers in the 6PM/ET timeslot. Sanders last
appeared on FNC in an appearance on Special Report with Bret
Baier in December 2018.
Baier and MacCallum have played pivotal roles throughout the
network’s election coverage, including moderating debates, town
halls and co-anchoring during major political events, such as the
recent State of the Union and midterm election night in November
2018. Their coverage that night was the highest-rated midterm
election programming in cable news history with 7.8 million
viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
