BGSU shines in national spotlight
BGSU was beamed into the living rooms of America by ABC News and Charles Gibson when the “Great American Battleground Bus
Tour” stopped here Oct. 7. The campus was the site of ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson” and part of the network’s national
coverage of the second presidential debate. Twelve students watched the debate with Gibson in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union
and then shared their responses to what they had heard.
A remarkable 9.92 million people watched the post-debate coverage that night, according to the Nielsen ratings, the highest
viewership of any network.
“The University was in the national spotlight when ABC visited, and it truly put its best face forward,” said Interim President
Carol Cartwright. [READ MORE]
