Should have called the station engineer during the broadcast, they could have fixed it pretty quick. (Their Master Control should have noticed right off the bat)
Or it was a problem with your TV's Dolby decoding, and the engineer could have walked you through how to fix it (most likely scenario, otherwise thousands of people would have been calling them to complain)
Worked at a CBS Affiliate for 30 years, one station we ran, we had to manually switch their encoder from 2.0 audio during the day to 5.1 audio during CBS Primetime, then back again.
This was a number of years ago, before it could be automated.

Your CBS Affiliate had their encoder set wrong.

It's not a conspiracy, I promise.
