9/11 Stories: LITE FM's Cubby Bryant

Now co-host of “Cubby and Christine Mornings” on 106.7 Lite Fm in New York City, Cubby Bryant was the music director of Z100 NYC in September, 2001, and was on the air in the afternoons, so he didn’t watch tv in the morning. Instead, he’d tune it to “Elvis Duran And The Morning Zoo”, for entertainment and the songs he had programmed for the show. Cubby was listening in the shower when Elvis unexpectantly faded out the #1 song of the day, Jennifer Lopez’s “I’m Real”, to relay that there was smoke coming out of The World Trade Center and they didn’t know what was happening.
Z100 was then located in Jersey City on the 35th floor of Jersey City’s tallest office building. As Cubby put it, it was like being on the 50-yard line, with a clear view of The World Trade Center, across the Hudson River. Living ten minutes away in Hoboken, Bryant knew he had to get to work, that whatever was happening, he’d be needed and that it was going to be a long day. He never made it. The security guard at the parking garage told him the building was being evacuated, as there were fears it, too, could be a target. His work began September 12th, with the decision to play no music, and instead become a life line for those missing loved ones, those who couldn’t get home, and those who just needed to talk.

I can’t stop watching all the stories thank you for posting them and thank you to the gentleman sharing his view on that day It is really interesting to hear from all kinds of people from those who are in the towers to those who are in the airport or for the airlines and the first responders and people on the street and have people like this here in the radio doing what they were doing to get the stories out and everything it’s extremely fascinating so thank you
