TheGrio Debate Plans.

TheGrio, Allen Media Group’s television and digital platform, will simulcast CNN’s presidential debate on Thursday and air its own analysis programming before and after the showdown between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

TheGrio is calling its predebate and postdebate shows Black America Must Vote: Special Coverage of the CNN Presidential Debate.

The shows will be hosted by April Ryan, theGrio’s Washington, D.C., bureau chief and senior White House correspondent, and Natasha Alford, theGrio’s national correspondent. Columnists for theGrio, Touré and Michael Harriot, will provide additional commentary.

Allen Media Group said the coverage aims to inform and empower Black America ahead of the crucial 2024 presidential election.

“Through our preshow and postshow coverage of the presidential debate, theGrio will provide comprehensive analysis to ensure that viewers gain a deeper understanding of the political landscape and the stakes involved for America,” said Byron Allen, founder, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group. “We hope that viewers will join theGrio for this crucial broadcast that navigates the complexities of the presidential debate and its impact on America.”

TheGrio’s debate coverage will appear on theGrio Television Network, theGrio streaming FAST channel and Allen Media Group’s Local Now streaming platform.
