Nickelodeon 9/11 Feed Interruption

Would be interesting if true, but I seriously doubt that, since Nickelodeon and CNN aren't even owned by the same company (time warner vs viacom). Most likely this person is misremembering, maybe someone in the room changed the channel on the TV and they mixed up the details. Plus I found this: boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?s=56bd7dbc2242b3727c02d2f1369f8413&p=17342903&postcount=12 which claims that Nickelodeon kept its normal programming throughout the whole time, with the exception of a "Nick News" segment after the fact. Which makes more sense, really - why traumatize little kids who wouldn't even understand what was going on?

Most people claim to have extremely vivid memories of traumatic events like 9/11, which is known as a "flashbulb memory". Problem is, they're not always accurate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashbulb_memory#Accuracy This seems like the best explanation - I don't think they were deliberately lying since that's a dumbass thing to make up, and I like to hope that most people have better things to do than try to fool people into believing inconsequential bullshit in a reddit comment section.

I think this is fake. Showing kids planes flying into towers? NAH!

I was channel surfing shortly after the attacks that day. I don't recall Nick playing anything like that, at least not in my area. I think most kids programming was uninterrupted; PBS was still showing a Mr Rogers episode during it.

Most of what I remember for interruptions that day was scrolling text at the top of programs mentioning the attacks. MTV and VH1 in particular did that.

I remember my little brother was watching PBS (I think it Mr. Rogers was on, actually) and I heard some "non-kids show" noise from the living room and went in and they were talking about what happened and showing some footage (nothing terrible graphic, mostly the impacts on a loop). It'd be interesting to see that again.

I don't think they 'interrupted' the broadcast, but I think they showed that instead of playing what was scheduled to play next. This also would have been around 11am-12pm, and the PBS I was watching was a New York station, I believe. I'm in Canada and PBS was one of the few American feeds we got here.

That's the jack they did

No TV stations that aired childrens content were interrupted.

For example, this episode of Jay Jay the Jet Plane aired during crash: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLf5zFpoxDw&list=PL3FYWyLTi1sLUlc5r0TgirLHvNsgpxVIf&index=1

All tv stations (including nick were un interrupted)

Sure some program was banned/edited (such as a kablam episode called "I just don't get it" was banned)but no news reports were made on those stations.
