9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan

Not surprisingly there isn't a lot premiering today, so Top Pick goes to 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan.  The special will air on ABC, National Geographic, Disney+ and Hulu.  I am a little surprised Disney isn't putting it on all the networks they own, but I guess this would be pretty heavy stuff for Disney Jr.  Doc McStuffins won't be making an appearance.

⭐🔔 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan (ABC / Disney+ / National Geographic, 8:00 PM) SPECIAL PRESENTATION. 'As the iconic Tribute in Light illuminates the skies above Lower Manhattan marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this special spotlights the resilience and hope that arose since that day through inspiring stories and historic musical performances.
