NBC News and its corporate cousins MSNBC and Telemundo have announced a deal with the Democratic National Committee to host the first Democratic primary presidential debate.

• The network is already billing it as a “two night event.”
• The exact date or location has not been announced, but NBC did announce it will be in June.
• The DNC has said there will be a total of 12 debates between candidates vying for the party’s nominations.
• These debates are separate from the debates where the GOP nominee, presumably Donald Trump, will debate with the Dem’s pick.
• CNN, meanwhile, has an agreement to air the second one.
• NBC plans to air the debate across the NBC network, MSNBC and Telemundo network, with presumably will also include most of not all NBC and Telemundo affiliated stations.
• The debate is being split into two nights due to the “anticipated” number of participants, though no details were announced on the format.
• Who will moderate the event has not been announced either.
