How do I watch the US presidential debates live via AppleTV? I have a 3rd generation Apple TV. Will it be possible to use it to watch the US presidential debates live? I would prefer to do so without using AirPlay, if possible.

I know that today's (Oct 3, 2012) debate will be streamed live via YouTube. Is the Apple TV's YouTube app capable of showing this? If so, how would I navigate to it?

If AirPlay is my only choice, how can I best go about it? I have:


an iPhone 4S running iOS 5 (capable of both AirPlay for videos and AirPlay Mirroring)
a Mac running OS X 10.7 (capable of AirPlay for videos, but not AirPlay mirroring)
As the link you posted has several Pre-event streams scheduled, you can try things out before hand. I haven't seen a public announcement by either Google or Apple saying to tune in on your Apple TV, so you might plan on a second manner of streaming. 

I'll likely use AirPlay mirroring to get the content onto my large screen via Apple TV.
