Looks really good!

Wow!

Thank you for researching this and posting the response.

This makes so much sense. Thank you so much! We contacted the local affiliate also.

And yikes! I don't believe in conspiracies.

Never have, never will.

Added that we contacted the local affiliate.

We use an antenna / rabbit ears.

We are definitely starting to think it is a localized phenomenon.

Thank you. That's what we are thinking. It's some type of localized phenomenon.

Yikes.

I never said it was a conspiracy. Not at all.

It was upsetting to me because my Mother (RIP) and I used to watch this program every year. It was a tradition. And since I was feeling down - it's near the holidays after all (and I just got out of a horrible / all night experience in the Emergency Department)? It upset me greatly that I could not enjoy it.

I was watching CBS with an antenna / rabbit ears.

I have used the same TV to watch prior Kennedy Center programs.

I rarely watch TV, except for very specific programs (like this one).

I'm beginning to think it was a localized phenomenon.

It's very weird.

I'm in Washington State and I'm watching it now. It's 9:07 here.

I've turned the TV off and on. I have switched to other channels. My Spotify works just fine. I've been watching other shows with music earlier tonight.

I don't use additional hookups / speakers / receivers with my TV.

We use an antenna / rabbit ears. We do not have satellite or cable.

They are only muting music on this show.

Commercials with music work.
