CBS to Re-Air Billy Joel's 100th MSG Concert 'Piano Man' on April 19th After Abrupt Cut
Apr 15, 2024, 04:15 PM
During the broadcast of Billy Joel's 100th concert at Madison Square Garden, CBS stations across the Eastern and Central Time Zones abruptly cut to local news, interrupting the performance of 'Piano Man'. This incident frustrated viewers and prompted widespread backlash. CBS acknowledged the error, attributing it to a network programming timing issue that led to the concert ending approximately two minutes early. The network has apologized and announced plans to rebroadcast the concert in its entirety on April 19th.
