New Wings Over America (2013 Remaster)

2001-Oct-24: Breaking Records

Last Saturday's "Concert for New York City" proved to be VH1's highest-rated night in network history.  According to VH1, roughly 16 million people watched all or part of the concert nationwide between 7:00 p.m. and 12:45 a.m. (ET).   AOL provided nearly a half-million streams of the live event to their members worldwide.   As of today, the concert has raised over $17 million to benefit the victims of the September 11 tragedy.

 CBS has obtained the American rights to the concert and plans to rebroadcast segments of the show. A CBS spokeswoman said it is likely that the concert will be cut down to fit into an hour time slot.
