WPXN/Pax TV NEVER ran the Cosby Show which were Bill Cosby episodes from NBC from 1984 to 1992. They ran the show just called Cosby which CBS ran from 1996 to 1999.

WPXN/Pax TV NEVER ran the Cosby Show which were Bill Cosby episodes from NBC from 1984 to 1992. They ran the show just called Cosby which CBS ran from 1996 to 1999.

But What I remember back during that year, Their actual listings online listed at 5:00pm and 5:30pm as: "The Cosby Show", and the 1996 version actualy ended in 2000.

8:00pm Who Wants To Be A Millionare

In my opinion, 9/11 was the beginning of the end of the Regis version of Millionaire. I recall the show was back on the air less than a month after 9/11, and it was all celebrity editions, 4-5 nights a week. I got tired of that very fast.

Question: On 9/11, what did the PBS stations that were airing childrens' programming do? Canada's CBC, which has long aired childrens' programming in the morning hours, did not break into their programming with any coverage of the attacks until 12:00pm ET. They stated at the time they had broken into childrens' programming in 1986 with news of the Challenger explosion, and after an associated controversy they didn't want to make that mistake again.

10:00pm News Special: NYC Mayoral Debate

...I recall that the mayoral election was originally taking place that very day. Why on Earth would there be a Mayoral Debate scheduled two hours after the polls closed?...

(7)WABC-ABC New York City

11:35pm Nightline

...the last item shown on WABC-TV/7 before the WTC news broke on the station was a promo for that week's Nightline series of special reports on the political violence of the previous ten years or so in Congo that ran at the end of a spot set on Good Morning America. WABC-TV switched to its own coverage of the WTC event right after a split-second of a network image of Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer...

(11)WPIX-WB New York City

8:00am Maury Povich

...this is, in fact, what my own TV set (in Sharon, Wisconsin, 90 miles plus Northwest of Chicago) was tuned to that morning, when the first plane hit; I had fallen asleep in front of the TV during the previous late-night's rerun of The Odd Couple and I didn't wake up until halfway through Maury. Deciding everything was pretty much okeh in the world, I fell back to sleep for a while; what woke me was the absence of audio coming from the TV. I opened my eyes to see a Dish Network computer-generated visual message stating that WPIX-TV was experiencing "technical difficulties" in its feed to Dish. I then flipped over to KTLA/5 Los Angeles and immediately saw (about five minutes after the second plane struck) what those "technical difficulties" were. Ironically, KTLA's Lynnette Romero was visiting her parents in suburban New York that very morning and phoned in a report to Carlos Amezcua and Emmett Miller in Hollywood...

8:00pm Who Wants To Be A Millionare

Question: On 9/11, what did the PBS stations that were airing childrens' programming do?

I believe they used the BBC feed.

10:00pm News Special: NYC Mayoral Debate
...I recall that the mayoral election was originally taking place that very day. Why on Earth would there be a Mayoral Debate scheduled two hours after the polls closed?...

This had to be a typo. What the listing likely was supposed to read was "News Special: NYC Mayoral Primary".

It would have been an hour of coverage of the primary results.

I believe this would be Ananda Lewis - with two N's (former MTV VJ).

 

[danderson6500]

I still can remember where i was, in the school library, doing a project, and the TV was on WYFF/4 which was showing the Today Show. At first i was shocked that Today was still on past 8:55 but then i turned up the volume and i learned very quickly that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. i kept doing my project, but when the second plane hit, i dropped it immediately.
