This paper examined the framing of televised deliberations in selected Ethiopian media, including EBC's ETV Medrek, FBC's Zuria Meles and LTV's Sefiw Mehidar programs. We employed both quantitative and qualitative content analysis as data collection techniques. The study findings revealed that the selected programs dominantly used the responsibility (attribution) frame suggesting solutions and blaming political parties to take responsibility and actions for the problems. The EBC's ETV Medrek and FBC's Zuria Meles described Abiy Ahmed positively. But the LTV's Sefiw Mehidar represented the PM negatively. Overall, the study findings indicated that the ETV Medrek and the Zuria Meles programs proposed solutions as the debaters were from academia, experts and government authorities. However, the LTV's Sefiw Mehidar debates took positions, as most of the debaters were political partisans who sided with their internal motives
