Billy Joel concert "The 100th" cut off air by CBS who apologized and will re-air it April 19

The Sunday April 14, 2024 airing of a Madison Square Garden concert

of pianist / songwriter / singer Billy Joel will be re-aired this coming

Friday due to a cut-off during the song "Piano Man" by the noted

singer-songwriter.  The live event had been pre-taped and the Sunday

night airing with commercials had begun late due to CBS Sports coverage

of the Masters Golf Tournament and a regular "60 minutes" news program.

This meant that the local affiliates were not allowed to leave the concert

but the network signal was abruptly concluded.

The concert in totality will be shown from 9 - 11 p.m. Friday 4/19 and

no operational cut-off will occur again.
