Question

What was it like the days after 9/11 in regards to television? Did everything just stop?

Answer 1

Alot of things about police, fireman and military.

Answer 2

Yeah.....I couldn't get it up anymore after that !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Lots of propaganda, with the occasional slip-up on the part of a reporter or anchor.

For the most part, they did what was asked by their masters COVER IT UP.

Answer 4

It was pretty much just 9/11 coverage on every station for a little bit.  It was also the birth of the crawl that goes across the bottom of the screen at all times on the cable news channels.

Answer 5

In the UK I watched the very first pictures on TV about 2 PM (or whatever)

No-one quite knew what was happening!

The first assumption was that an airliner had accidentaly crashed into a skyscraper in New York.

Then the second one was reported and programmes were cancelled to make way for this (now obviously) Major Event.

Answer 6

Most of the major television networks stopped airing regular programs and focused solely on the attacks for the first several days and then the government stepped in and said it was to disturbing for you and me and they asked networks to go back to normal programs and only do major updates.

Answer 7

There was nonstop coverage for about week on regular TV stations.

Answer 8

Yes they keep running EXTREMELY EDITED VIDEO. Forget exact number of days, so think on third day foxes aired something different with commercials, and on fourth all went back to regular schedules. Did not have cable so don' know what they showed,
