That is true.
At one time, all of the major NYC TV stations were on The Empire State Building, and all moved to The World Trade Center.
WCBS-TV (Channel 2) was the only one left that still maintained a transmitter site at Empire State -- although I'm pretty sure it was a backup site and that Channel 2's main site was also at WTC.
Most (probably all) of the Trade Center sites were automated, but I know that there were some TV technicians at the sites, probably doing maintenance. The man who replaced me at the UN is a former Assistant Chief Engineer at one of the stations, and talked to one of his people on the phone who didn't make it out I believe.
