WPIX’s World Trade Center tribute
April 4, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The World Trade Center’s Twin Towers were dedicated on April 4, 1973.
Twelve years later, WPIX TV launched a campaign to promote the station (Channel 11) called “The Big Idea,” which featured a fictional station executive named Henry Tillman whose one job was to find a big way to promote Channel 11. The poor guy never quite realized the best promotion was the Twin Towers. This is one of those commercials.
