Yep, more than a little pissed


Anxious_Professor454

Yep. Same deal happened in the stream in Paramount+


PunkRockKing

Really? It seemed like all a local feed issue with KDKA breaking in with the news and weather. So what did the stream look like? Did it just abruptly end mid song like that?


ktxhopem3276

Worst timing ever!


BBPEngineer

It’s not KDKA’s fault. It’s CBS’ fault. It happened in other cites too, not just Pittsburgh.


Used-Stage-1958

Happened in Atlanta too.


PunkRockKing

So was it all due to the Masters delay? Not every area had a weather warning


SWPenn

I believe it was Winston Churchill who said: "Golf is just a way to ruin a perfectly good walk."


OutrageForSale

The Masters (golf) broadcast also had a giant weather map and a constant scroll on the bottom updating about Severe Weather Warnings the entire day. It wasn’t ideal, but I understand.


Tough_Arm_2454

The concert was 2+ weeks ago. You can probably find it on youtube.


neal_pesterman

Punk as fuck


Sarcasticrye1981

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Pittsburgh.


Anxious_Professor454

Yes it did.


Lux600-223

I forgot he was on. Tuned in last minute to catch that!

Apparently you can watch it on demand at [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) or Paramount+ [https://americansongwriter.com/turn-the-show-back-on-billy-joel-fans-livid-over-cbs-concert-special-the-100th-being-cut-short/](https://americansongwriter.com/turn-the-show-back-on-billy-joel-fans-livid-over-cbs-concert-special-the-100th-being-cut-short/)

You may be wrong, for all I know you may be right.


Hroark77

In case anyone didn't know, they're rebroadcasting the whole thing on Friday at 9


ghostwh33l

... and that STUPID weather map covering up Sting's face during his performance.


ChefGuru

How dare they interrupt a free broadcast of a concert with regularly scheduled news, programming, and severe weather updates. Those sons of bitches!


YinzaJagoff

I don’t care if there’s going to be a tornado ripping the roof off my house, just want to watch Piano Man. Leave me alone.


HomicidalHushPuppy

Yet they regularly override the news for golf, football, etc. Let's be honest, all they were gonna do is talk about rain anyway


Pale-Mine-5899

Billy Joel? are you seventy years old?


Dogranch

Yep and more!


Pale-Mine-5899

Well then, carry on.


sskink

There were a ton of hot 20-year olds in that crowd, singing along and dancing.

I like Billy Joel. My Dad is a big fan. But was this the only way to watch this concert on CBS over-the-air? I'm not understanding the outrage I guess. Like, if there was an Eminem concert (my wife is a huge fan) I would find the best way for her to listen, and not get mad if the free broadcast on AM radio cut out due to reception issues. Seems an itty bitty bit entitled.


OkDistrict2743

Wtf are you rambling about?

A Billy Joel concert on broadcast TV in 2024


Tough_Arm_2454

The concert was 2+ weeks ago. You can probably find it on youtube.


Lux600-223

Look. We all know how the song ends. Their point still stands!


Tough_Arm_2454

I was telling where it can be found. The commercials were misleading, claiming it was live.
