CNN, ABC ads only mention own moderator for co-moderated debate

ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper are teaming up to moderate Sunday’s presidential debate, but you wouldn’t know it from the networks’ ads.

CNN’s promotions of the debate in St. Louis, the second of three between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, feature only Cooper, and ABC’s promos bill only Raddatz.

Sunday’s town hall-style debate will begin at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Raddatz moderated the 2012 vice presidential debate between Vice President Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

Cooper has moderated two Democratic primary debates for CNN, as well as Democratic and Republican town halls during the primaries, but never a general election presidential debate.

The Hill has reached out to CNN and ABC for comment.
