NEW YORK – Television viewers who want to immerse themselves in memories of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as the 10th anniversary approaches will have a staggering number of choices, and on the day itself, broadcast and cable news networks will all have their top talent on hand for special coverage.

There will be dozens of specials covering the events from every conceivable angle. Many are from networks that either didn’t exist back in 2001, didn’t have the capacity to cover the tragedy live or weren’t aggressively making as much original programming.

Chances are that the 10th will end up being the biggest anniversary in terms of media attention: 9/11 is still relatively fresh in the minds of those who experienced it, yet time has also offered more perspective.

“It was a transformative event,” said Mark Burstein, executive producer of special events coverage for ABC News. “This was an event that everyone who was over the age of 10 remembers where they were on this day. It changed millions of lives. I’m not surprised that 10 years later the world will stop and look back and remember.”

Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos will anchor ABC’s special the morning of Sept. 11, with coverage of the memorial mixed in with other reports. Brian Williams will anchor NBC’s coverage, simulcast on MSNBC, which will also feature Tom Brokaw, who anchored for NBC a decade ago. Scott Pelley is on hand for CBS.

Shepard Smith of Fox News Channel is the main anchor who led his network’s coverage 10 years ago and will be back in the same role. Anderson Cooper and Candy Crowley will be at ground zero for CNN, in a telecast that will be shown all over the world.
