I heard the figure of $200m being put as the amount the main networks will have lost during this period.

It was 'Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming' or something. It was the episode in which Sideshow Bob threatens to abolish television. Very Funny!!!

Speaking of The Simpsons, I don't suppose they will be showing the one where the family visit New York after Barney leaves Homer's car parked in the forecourt of the WTC for a while.
Also have you noticed in Sky One's continuous repeats of 'Friends' that most establishing shots of New York's sky line have been edited out? They simply aren't there any more.

<Get's out his Simpson guide>
<Flicks through>
Yes,it was Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming',but first shown in 1995 it tells the story of Sideshow Bob's plans to stop television. Sounds harmless,you say,well the story is set in a U.S air force base,and Sideshow Bob hijackes Bart in an Aeroplane!!!! As you will agree,not very suitable.
It's 1996 replacement,'Scenes from the class struggle in Springfield',I'm getting rather sick of (It's shown quite a lot)but an ok story where the Simpsons have the easy (rich) life.
Shame about that nodnirG-That's my second favorite episode.
(Homer needs to go the toilet but he has to stay by the car,so he goes to one of those towers,barges past everyone,goes up many floors,get's to the toilet but sees a sign 'Closed,go to other tower' so he goes back down the lift,out the tower door,runs to the other WTC tower,barges past everyone,goes up many floors in this towers lift,get's to the toilet and looks out the window and his car has got a ticket!!!!!!!!!)
My favorite is the 1998 'Simpson Tide' not shown on BBC2 yet.
Lots of news on BBC ONE tonight (Sunday) with Fiona Bruce, reporting on the latest from America.
Also I a 'Live Report' special on GMTV tomorrow.
nice to see that TV programmes are dedicating time to these terrible attacks.
