Where it stands

Disney Entertainment Television has announced plans for a multiplatform commemoration of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. The Futon Critic and detpress.com were first to report that Disney will air hours of programming across ABC, Disney+, and National Geographic. The Futon Critic also noted that A+E Global Media will contribute with two new projects executive produced by Robin Roberts.

Variety and IMDb added that the programming will include a new National Geographic special titled '9/11 Reunited'. ABC7 Los Angeles released an emotional trailer for the special. Disney stands to gain from this extensive programming, which is likely to draw significant viewership.
