[BC] FCC & 9/11

[Art Reed]

It depends on which special you were referring to.  The CBS rerun of their
documentary, (a rebroadcast) which consisted of footage shot by a pair of
cameramen who happened to be filming the NYPD that day, was probably delayed
due to a US Open coverage overrun of about 40 minutes.  AFAIK, the ABC
"docudrama" ran on schedule.
