Perhaps it wasn't as seamless as they thought... -- http://www.sacbee.com/2012/05/27/4520474/may-27-live-broadcast-of-pbs-national.html WASHINGTON, May 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Due to severe weather, the live broadcast of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT on PBS slated for May 27 was cancelled and the Capitol grounds were evacuated. As a result, the 8pm broadcast on PBS aired lived for the first half of the show, then transitioned seamlessly to footage from the 2011 NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT. The 9:30-11 PM broadcast will feature the first half of the 2012 concert that aired live, followed by a seamless transition to footage of the 2012 concert taped during the full dress rehearsal on Saturday, May 26. "Safety is our first priority for audience, service men and women, and performers on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol," said Michael Colbert, producer, Capital Concerts. -- -- Ben Scripps [email protected] -- TV or Not TV ....
