FIRST TIME TV DEBATE HELD ON THIS DAY

How the JFK-Nixon debates in 1960—the first on live TV—set the stage for all to come

       
 

On September 26, 1960, for the first time in U.S. history, a
debate between major party presidential candidates was
broadcast on live television. The presidential hopefuls,
John F. Kennedy, a Democratic senator of Massachusetts,
and
Richard M. Nixon, the vice president of the United States,
met in a Chicago studio to discuss U.S. domestic matters.

Kennedy emerged the apparent winner from this first of
four televised debates.
