that we already have publicly financed airwaves. We could funnel those stations for debates and other party based forums, or add a new station purely for that.

Candidates could still spend money on commecial spots if they need to, but they would just have to take a bigger hit to do so.

But this would be a relatively unprecedented undertaking, so there is not an exact blueprint for doing so, but the conversation is already being had, based on people who are willing to come to the table (and not just talk about the table).
