At 10pmET, FNC will show “Fox News Reporting, 9/11: Timeline of Terror,” which will depict how the events happened in “real time” and include interviews with Ari Fleisher, Dick Cheney, and Condoleezza Rice. During the day, Steve Doocy will be live from Ground Zero for “Fox & Friends” (guests include Mayor Bloomberg) and Neil Cavuto will also be live from Ground Zero for his show with Richard Grasso, Andy Card, Gov.
