The news station, according to The New York Times, received an email from Nixon's team last week requesting that the station keep the debate room's temperature at 76 degrees.
Cuomo likes to work in cool conditions, The Times reported in 2011, following the governor's inauguration.
Rebecca Katz, a strategist for Nixon, reportedly told the local CBS station that working conditions are "notoriously sexist when it comes to room temperature, so we just want to make sure we’re all on the same page here."
