PBS Announces Plans for 9/11 Anniversary




PBS has announced plans to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 with a mixture of new programs and repeats. The schedule, starting in the week leading up to the anniversary, is to include “America Remembers — 9/11,” a “PBS NewsHour” presentation exploring the lasting effects that the terrorist attacks have had across the United States; the New York Philharmonic 10th Anniversary Concert for 9/11, conducted by Alan Gilbert and taped the day before; and “Engineering Ground Zero,” about the construction of One World Trade Center, including interviews with the architect David Childs and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “Frontline” will also contribute new programs and presentations of previous documentaries focusing on the response to the attacks. PBS.org will supplement the television shows with full-episode streaming.
