CBS announced comprehensive programming plans for September 11 devoted to the 25th anniversary of the 2001 attacks on the United States. The coverage will span morning hours through primetime and be distributed across multiple platforms including Paramount+ and CBS News’ digital channels.
Morning coverage will begin on “CBS Mornings” with co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson, while “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil will report live from Ground Zero in New York. “60 Minutes” correspondent Norah O’Donnell will cover developments from the Pentagon. A 90-minute special report is scheduled to air at 8:30 a.m., providing coverage of memorial events taking place in New York, Shanksville, and at the Pentagon, with CBS News correspondents stationed at all three locations.
Primetime programming will include “CBS Evening News” anchored by Dokoupil from Ground Zero at 6:30 p.m., followed by an 8 p.m. special titled “We Remember” featuring three segments related to the tragedy. The special will include reporting by Lesley Stahl on Summit, New Jersey, which lost nine residents in the attacks, an interview with a family that escaped the World Trade Center, and a conversation with General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At 9 p.m., the documentary “Daughters of 9/11” will explore whether Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of masterminding the attacks, will face justice.
Additional coverage will include archival reporting from “60 Minutes” available on CBSNews.com, Paramount+, and YouTube. CBS New York will provide multiplatform content with over two dozen stories on the attacks and recovery, including virtual reality coverage of World Trade Center reconstruction. CBS News 24/7 will offer continuous coverage beginning at 7 a.m., with expanded programming featuring interviews with analysts and individuals affected by the attacks.
