Fox Business Network will host a town hall with the Libertarian Party presidential ticket of Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, the channel announced Tuesday.

John Stossel will moderate the town hall, which will air on Friday, Aug. 26 at 9 PM, in Stossel's normal timeslot. According to FBN, "Stossel will focus on the major differences between the Libertarian, Republican and Democratic platforms, as well as on economic, social and defense issues.

Fox Business, which hosted a Libertarian debate earlier this year, now joins CNN in hosting town halls with the third party ticket. CNN has hosted two town halls with Johnson and Weld.

Fox Business is not as widely distributed as CNN, and typically has fewer viewers, however some of its programming has a distinctly Libertarian bent to it, including Stossel's show.
