Around the clock coverage of Sept. 11

This story appeared in the Antelope Valley Press September 11, 2002.
By the Associated Press

Among the highlights during today's round-the-clock coverage on the major broadcast networks are a rebroadcast of the special "9/11," which includes footage shot inside one of the doomed towers (9 p.m. on KCBS-TV Channel 2); a live "Concert for America" from the Kennedy Center in Washington, featuring Gloria Estefan, Al Green, the National Symphony Orchestra and other performers (9 p.m. on KNBC-TV Channel 4); "Answering Children's Questions," a town-hall meeting on how kids dealt with the attacks (3:30 p.m. on KABC-TV Channel 7); and" 9/11 - The Day America Changed," which will include a live interview with Lisa Beamer, whose husband Todd led the passenger revolt against hijackers that ended in the crash of United Flight 93 (8 p.m. on KTTV-TV Channel 11).

Here are more of today's highlights:
