CBS will fill key morning and primetime hours on September 11 with live coverage and special programming devoted to the 25th anniversary of terrorist attacks on America on that date in 2001.
The CBS programming will also be available on Paramount+. A selection of reporting on the attacks and their aftermath from “60 Minutes” will be featured on CBSNews.com, Paramount+ and CBS News‘ YouTube channel. The 59th season of “60 Minutes” is slated to commence on Sunday, September 13.
CBS’ efforts will join those of ABC News, NBC News, Fox News Channel, MS NOW and CNN. The 25th anniversary of the attacks has spurred many news organizations to offer a broader array of programming, which in most years is largely tied to comemmoration.
CBS News will start coverage on “CBS Mornings,” which will feature co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson along with “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil at Ground Zero in New York and “60 Minutes” correspondent Norah O’Donnell reporting from the Pentagon. Dokoupil and O’Donnell will launch a 90 minute special report at 8:30 a.m. that covers memorials occurring in New York, Shanksville and the Pentagon. CBS News correspondents will report from New York City, the Pentagon and the site of the crash of Flight 93 near Shanksville.
