The study examines how TV debates agenda affect receiver agenda and attitude. Most of existing receiver studies have focused on not the results of receiver`s influence but receiver`s attitude that media process. However, some recent studies mostly are the moving into the investigation of how message factors affect receiver`s acknowledgement about media agenda and receiver`s attitude. Therefore, the study examines how televised debates affect receivers` acknowledgement change about degree of importance of major issue. The ‘second level agenda-setting and cognition and attitude change were adopted as theoretical basis and two research questions. Firstly, it has found that obtrusiveness`s issue take preference of abstractness`s issue of influence of receiver agenda-setting. Media agenda of influence on receiver`s attitude was alike between abstractness and obtrusiveness. But obtrusiveness`s issue was that a disputed point take preference of an offence and defence. It is like that obtrusiveness logically explains than an offence and defence. Finally, Tv debates agenda affect receiver`s agenda, and TV debates agenda affect receiver`s attitude. Because the study focus TV debates, influence of character of each program do not find out. I will hope that follow study find out influence of each program.
