During the week prior to the South Carolina Republican Presidential primary (to be held Saturday, January 21), the College of Charleston will be the host location for CNN. From January 17 through 21, CNN will have a static camera and reporter in the Cistern Yard and will broadcast live from the College at various times throughout the day. The camera will be used primarily to interview candidates and others as they campaign in Charleston.
On January 20, CNN is expected to broadcast the following shows live from the Cistern Yard: “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” from 4 until 6 p.m., “John King USA” from 6 until 7 p.m., “Erin Burnett OutFront” from 7 to 8 p.m., and “Anderson Cooper 360” from 8 to 9 p.m.
Already, on January 10, a portion of CNN’s broadcast of the New Hampshire primary originated from the College of Charleston. During this broadcast, a small focus group of South Carolina voters graded the politicians on various factors during primary night. The panel of South Carolina voters was in the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance Alumni Center during the 7 p.m. to midnight broadcast.
