CBS’ NYE Special ‘Nashville’s Big Bash’ Hit By Tech Issues; Network Briefly Switches To ‘Matlock’ Rerun
[ad_1]
CBS‘ popular legal drama Matlock made an unscheduled appearance during the network’s New Year’s Eve presentation.
About 42.5 minutes into CBS‘ holiday special New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, a performance by Lainey Wilson was cut off abruptly mid-song. The screen went black for a few seconds, followed by a string of promos for Survivor and other CBS programs before an episode of Matlock came on mid-scene. The drama starring Kathy Bates went on for awhile, frequently interrupted by ads and promos and accompanied by a crawl “We are experiencing technical difficulties” that was subsequently replaced by a longer one, “We are experiencing technical difficulties and programming will resume shortly.”
After an interruption that lasted more than 12 minutes, Nashville’s Big Bash resumed, with co-host Bert Kreischer addressing the outage.
“We lost power here in Nashville, and we got kicked off the air on CBS,” he said as he and fellow co-host Hardy joked that none of them pulled any plugs to cause the incident.
The special aired live on CBS and Paramount+ from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT and 10:30-1:30 a.m. ET/PT. Because it ended so late on the East Coast, it couldn’t be edited in real time for the West Coast where the concert also included the 12-minute interruption.

Kennedy Center Honors Draws All-Time Low Viewership On CBS With Host Donald Trump
[ad_1]
The official ratings for the 48th Annual Kennedy Center Honors are in, and the Dec. 23 telecast averaged 3.01 million viewers on CBS, according to Nielsen Live + Same Day Panel + Big Data.
That is an all-time low audience for the annual special, down from 4.1M Live+Same Day viewers last year when it aired on a Sunday with a football and 60 Minutes lead-in. This year, the event was broadcast on a Tuesday.
Established in 1978, the Kennedy Center Honors, which recognize “individuals whose unique contributions have shaped our world,” honored Sylvester Stallone, Michael Crawford, KISS, George Strait, and Gloria Gaynor at the ceremony, which for the first time ever was hosted by a sitting U.S. President in Trump who previously headlined the NBC reality series The Apprentice.
“At the request of the Board, and just about everybody else in America, I am hosting the event,” he wrote on Truth Social last week. “Tell me what you think of my ‘Master of Ceremony’ abilities. If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make ‘hosting’ a full time job?”
The Kennedy Center Honors was held amid a series of controversial moves surrounding the center since Trump returned to office in January, including replacing most members of the Board of Trustees appointed by his Democratic predecessors, Trump becoming Chairman and, most recently, the name change of the memorial to The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. They have triggered a string of cancellations by scheduled performances, most recently this week.
