Two of the largest cable news companies in the nation, CNN and Fox News, have announced details about their Republican presidential debates later this year.

Both networks will host a debate each to help voters decide who will be the best president while also narrowing down the large Republican field.

Fox News will host the first debate between the top Republican candidates, hoping to win their party's nomination for the 2016 presidential race. The news network announced it would partner with Facebook and the Ohio GOP for the first debate, scheduled for Aug. 6, 2015.

Working with Facebook will allow Fox News to incorporate videos from voters to air during the debate and utilize data from the social media site to determine what interests Americans the most.

"Facebook's scale and foundation in real identity give Fox News and the Republican contenders for the nomination the opportunity to open up the debate to Americans in a new and unique way," said Andy Mitchell, director of News and Global Media Partnerships at Facebook.

"FOX News hosts often take to Facebook to connect with viewers authentically ... using Facebook to bring those viewers into this debate demonstrates how the platform has become an essential part of the political process."

The Fox News debate will feature the Top 10 candidates in the lineup, using data from five of the most recent national polls to determine who will attend.

The debate will be hosted in Cleveland, Ohio with the help of the state's Republican Party.

"We are thrilled to host the first debate in Ohio. The road to the GOP nomination begins in Ohio this August and culminates with the Republican National Convention almost a year later. A Republican can't win the White House without carrying our state, so there's no better place to host the first primary debate," said Ohio GOP Chairman Matt Borges.

A month after Fox News' debate, CNN will host its own debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. Their debate, which will be split in two segments, will air on Sept. 16.

CNN explained in a press release their new format would include all Republican candidates, separating the debate into two parts. The first would include the top 10 candidates and the second would feature candidates who earned the minimum of 1 percent of polling.

CNN did not announce who will moderate their debate but Fox News said Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace would moderate.

In response to both CNN and Fox News' debate announcement, Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said they "support and respect" their decisions. Responding to Fox News' statement, Priebus said the network's debate "will match the greatest number of candidates we have ever had on a debate stage."

CNN's inclusion of marginal candidates will help Republican primary voters hear all the view points of the party but also give them more choices from an already heavily saturated field. Recent polls show Republican voters are optimistic of the current lineup; however, unlike the Democratic Party, there are no clear potential leaders, with many candidates polling with similar numbers.

Among those who have announced their candidacy, it is likely Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz will make it to both debates. Others likely to appear are Jeb Bush and Gov. Scott Walker, who have yet to formally announce their candidacies.

However, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Sen. Lindsey Graham, the latter who said will announce his decision in June, may not make the cut with Fox News and will be likely relegated to CNN's second round.
