"These journalists bring extensive experience to the job of moderating, and understand the importance of using expanded time periods effectively," Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr. and Michael D. McCurry, said in a statement.

The statement added: "The formats chosen for this year's debates are designed to build on the formats introduced in 2012, which focused big blocks of time on major domestic and foreign topics. We are grateful for their willingness to moderate, and confident that the public will learn more about the candidates and the issues as a result."

The first debate will take place September 26.
