TV listing for the day that became marred by the September 11 attacks in the United States. Much of the late night programs listed here were not aired as networks in Australia began continuous news coverage, mostly via relaying broadcast news from the US and the BBC in the UK.
First to break the news in Australia was newsreader Sandra Sully during the Ten Late News bulletin.
(This listing excludes community Channel 31 which is not listed in TV Week)
