As cable networks mark the anniversary of the Sep 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with new documentaries, one subject elevates the conversation beyond anger and grief: the construction of the ...1,776-feet-tall One World Trade Center (WTC) in lower Manhattan. Smithsonian Channel's Crowning New York, which premiered on September 7, takes viewers from the collapse of the Twin Towers through the planning and building of One WTC and lingers on; the engineering and placement of the 408-foot spire and beacon at the top. Metaphors abound: the light at the end of the tunnel, "an exclamation point of a wonderful journey" and the crown jewel of the New York City skyline. History's Rebuilding the WTC, which premieres on September 11, is something a bit different. Filmmaker Marcus Robinson calls it "quite an unconventional film."

The key question is whether consumers should be forced by the government to pay for network affiliates."
