Now that 2016 is on, the time ticks away until the presidential election of 2016.  There will be many debates before November hits, the first will be the sixth Republican Debate.  This is everything that is known about the Republican Presidential Debate Candidates, Fox Business News (FBN) Start Time, Schedule, Date and Time for Live Stream. 

Yahoo News reports that the candidates for the debate will be cut short as Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former technology executive Carly Fiorina will not be appearing in the Republican Party's presidential candidates face off, three weeks before Iowa's leadoff presidential caucuses.  Both of these candidates were invited to participate in a 6 PM "undercard debate", but Paul refused, saying that he would not accept the second tier.  Both Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum were also invited to appear in this undercard event. 

This leads about seven candidates for the Primetime Republican debate (the smallest number so far) including Donald Trump, current GOP leader and will appear in center stage at the debate.  The other candidates include Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Ohio Governor John Kasich, and neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

For those that want to livestream the debate, there are options. FOX Business Network (FBN) will be again livestreaming the Republican presidential primary debate for free and without authentication.

FBN plans to debut a new website on Tuesday, January 12^th, two days before the debate.  A new feature will be added called "On the Radar" that will have both social media and videos, and this will be used in the debate.  FBN will be partnering with Facebook in order to provide some live debate content like behind-the-scenes footage and moderator reviews that will be conducted by Jo Ling Kent. 

The first Republican debate of 2016 and sixth overall will be held at the North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, South Carolina on Thursday, January 14, 2016.  It will begin on Fox Business News (FBN) on 9 PM ET.  The Anchor/Managing Editor of Business News, Neil Cavuto and Anchor/Global Markets Editor Bartiromo are going to reprise their roles as moderators for the debate, with the earlier debate again moderated by Trish Regan and Sandra Smith.
