York's Z100's radio waves and Empire State Building's world-famous tower 
lights.  On Friday, March 27, at 9:00 p.m., the tower of the Empire State

April 2. On Sunday, March 29, the Empire State Building will shine in a dynamic 
heartbeat from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in support of the "FOX PRESENTS THE

Duran will kick off every light show at 8:55 p.m. with a spotlight interview to 
highlight the amazing individuals who are on the front lines of the fight 
against COVID-19.
