september+11+memorials

With the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks more than 75 hours of new programming including documentaries, special programs, memorials or series will air on Sunday. One would think that all channels will have a special event covering the september 11 attacks. However, important channels like Fox and NBC don't have any programming covering the 9/11 attacks. What they will broadcast varies widely. NBC announced it will broadcast the NFL game in which the Dallas Cowboys will play the New York Jets. Fox will air repeats of "The Simpsons" and "family guy". I found this article interesting and relating to class because of the ratings and the number of people that will tune in to these channels when there is such an important event as the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It will be nteresting to compare later during the week the ratings for the different channels and the events they aired on the anniversary. [|some channels forgoing 9/11 shows]
