Did this happen to you also?

(Billy Joel concert)

According to a couple people on Twitter, CBS cut the feed to Billy Joel's concert for local news, early.
And during Joel's song "Piano Man."

Did this happen to anyone here?

I DVR'd the concert, so I haven't watched it yet.

On edit: This is the newest "Heidi moment" for CBS.

Certainly did. They cut to the news in Detroit, some woman singing opera in a church. Just like that. Srkdqltr Apr 15 #2

Golf? Other sports? They keep it on.

A concert I had been looking forward to seeing? Hell no.

One of the D.J.'s was talking about this on the radio today.

I believe CBS has said they will rerun it...
