the september 11 attacks in 2001 destroyed the world trade center and the broadcast centers atop it, leaving most of the city's stations without a station for ten days until a temporary tower was built in alpine, new jersey. by october 2001, nearly all of the city's commercial broadcast stations (both television and fm radio) were again transmitting from the top of the empire state building. in a report that congress commissioned about the transition from analog television to digital television, it was stated that the placement of broadcast stations in the empire state building was considered "problematic" due to interference from other nearby towers. in comparison, the congressional report stated that the former twin towers had very few buildings of comparable height nearby thus signals suffered little interference. in 2003, a few fm stations were relocated to the nearby condé nast building to reduce the number of broadcast stations using the empire state building. eleven television stations and twenty-two fm stations had signed 15-year leases in the building by may 2003. it was expected that a taller broadcast tower in bayonne, new jersey, or governors island, would be built in the meantime with the empire state building being used as a "backup" since signal transmissions from the building were generally of poorer quality.
