Pre-Debate Rumble Between Glenn Beck and Eliot Spitzer

**MEDIA ALERT**

DISH HOSTS PRE-DEBATE RUMBLE BETWEEN

GLENN BECK AND ELIOT SPITZER

Fillmore Auditorium

Tuesday, October 2

On the eve of the first presidential debate, political heavyweights Glenn Beck and Eliot Spitzer will go head-to-head in a battle of ideas at the Fillmore Auditorium in a boxing-themed event hosted by DISH.

The two contenders will continue “The War of the Words,” an exchange that began in New York on September 13 to coincide with the launch of DISH’s enhanced political programming options, including Beck’s new network TheBlaze, and Spitzer’s home network, Current TV.

Surrounded by a 500-member live, local audience and watched by Facebook and DISH viewers across the nation, Beck and Spitzer will share their diverging thoughts on the hot-button issues facing the nation. After brief opening statements, the two will answer pressing questions posed by moderator (and longtime Denver news anchor) Ed Sardella.

The event is free and open to the public, though an admission ticket is required. More information can be obtained at www.dish.com/allangles.
