Both candidates for Kentucky governor will take part in a debate hosted by WLKY-TV and sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Louisville this weekend.

The Saturday night debate between Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Republican challenger Attorney General Daniel Cameron will be their third time this month sharing the stage.

According to WLKY, the live debate will begin at 8 p.m. and will be televised and streamed on the WLKY app, WLKY.com and the Very Local app. Additionally, it will air live on NewsRadio 840 WHAS in Louisville.

WLKY says there will not be an audience in attendance at the studio.

The debate will “focus on the most pressing issues facing the state of Kentucky, as well as the city of Louisville,” WLKY says, and will be moderated by morning anchor Caray Grace, with participation from political reporter Mark Vanderhoff.

After the broadcast, WLKY will make a recording of the debate available online, too.

The candidates have two more debates scheduled — Monday on KET and Tuesday on WKYT — ahead of the Nov. 7 election.

Additionally, Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman and Cameron’s running mate, State Sen. Robby Mills, R-Henderson, will also face off on KET on Oct. 30.
