CBS to Rebroadcast Billy Joel's 100th MSG Concert on April 19th After Abrupt Cut-Off During 'Piano Man'
Apr 15, 2024, 02:18 PM
CBS faced significant backlash after abruptly cutting off the broadcast of Billy Joel's 100th concert at Madison Square Garden during his performance of 'Piano Man'. The interruption, which occurred in the Eastern and Central Time Zones, was due to a network programming timing error that ended the broadcast about two minutes early. This error caused viewers to miss the end of the concert. CBS has apologized for the disruption and has scheduled a rebroadcast of the concert for April 19th.
