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 \u201cWe are experiencing technical difficulties\u201d that was subsequently replaced by a longer one, \u201cWe are experiencing technical difficulties and programming will resume shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAfter an interruption that lasted more than 12 minutes, Nashville\u2019s Big Bash resumed, with co-host Bert Kreischer addressing the outage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cWe lost power here in Nashville, and we got kicked off the air on CBS,\u201d he said as he and fellow co-host Hardy joked that none of them pulled any plugs to cause the incident. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe 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\u2019t be edited in real time for the West Coast where the concert also included the 12-minute interruption. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CBS\u2018 popular legal drama Matlock made an unscheduled appearance during the network\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve presentation.
