I'm on a broadcaster's email list and the story there is that <every>
VHF and UHF and most FM stations were on the WTC.
CBS had left it's old TX in place on the Empire State Building and was

it's the ONLY television station on the air in NYC.  But several new
TX are on rush order and will soon be delivered.
