NewsWorld International was still around on 9/11 and owned by the CBC
before Al Gore bought it to turn into Current--I don't know if Trio had
been sold to NBC yet and was still only on DirecTV.

My wife and I had just arrived in Chicago a few days earlier. I was going
to Northwestern for grad school, and we were staying with a fellow Canadian
expat in his apartment that backed on the El. He woke us up to let us know
what happened and we watched news the rest of the day. At some point we
flipped around and found CBC so gratefully watched Peter Mansbridge report
on something other than "the terrorists came in from Canada!" (They
didn't.)

The City of Chicago evacuated the loop downtown and ran all trains outbound
before shutting down the El. The absence of a train roaring by every 2
minutes in my friend's apartment was uncanny.

Makes sense. Bravo has no news division, and 2001 predates when NBC/ABC/CBS
would simulcast over other channels (was Bravo part of NBCU then? was there
even an NBCU then?).

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: 9/11/01 what did you watch?

2016-08-17 Thread Bill Partsch 
I watched New York local coverage (interspersed with national coverage) at my 
friend's apartment in Manhattan. Then, as now, I lived in New Jersey. My two 
priorities when I got to my friend's place were to let my girlfriend know I was 
alright and figure out a way back to NJ. I accomplished the former thanks to 
AOL instant messaging. (I didn't have a cell phone yet, and it wouldn't have 
worked if I had.) As four of us watched coverage, I was waiting for both the 
subway and the George Washington Bridge to be re-opened. News of such came at 
around 2-3 pm, and I took the A train (for free) to the bridge, which had 
re-closed in the interim. It re-opened at about 8 pm, and I walked across with 
hundreds of others, went to a pay phone in Fort Lee and called my girlfriend 
who picked me up, whereupon we both burst into tears.
