The gubernatorial candidates have agreed to three UNC-TV debates.
The public television station will hold a series of forums at 8 p.m. on Thursdays in Research Triangle Park starting in January.
This afternoon, the station announced that all five candidates — Republicans Bob Orr, Bill Graham and Fred Smith and Democrats Richard Moore and Beverly Perdue — have agreed to attend.
The subjects will be based on the results of an Elon University Poll that identified North Carolinian's top concerns: The economy, health care and education.
Each forum will be 60 minutes long, with the time divided equally between Republican and Democratic candidates. A coin toss will determine who goes first.

Re: Which is a cryin' shame
The UNC-TV release was incorrect in stating that there are "five legally qualified Republican and Democratic candidate" Dennis Nielsen is a legally qulaified Democratic candidate. See his name on the offical Dem website. The N&O ran an article on candidate Nielsen, so UNC knows.
It is a shame that a liberal institution that recieves taxpayer funding has decided who they think are "legally qualified" candidates disregarding the State Board of Election and other newspapers that state there are THREE Democratic candidates.
Media outlets such as UNC-TV simply do not trust the public to make their own decisions and attempt tp control of the public with their own bias.
Want to know waht is wrong with NC look to the liberal bias on UNC.
