FROM THE NEWSROOM: HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Public TV has apologized for prematurely ending the first episode of season five of Downton Abbey. It blamed a technical problem for the mishap. The program ended abruptly Sunday night on CPTV a few minutes before its scheduled conclusion. Viewers instead saw an ad for the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven, followed by alternative public TV programming. CPTV said on its website its profoundly sorry and embarrassed by this mistake. The public television station re-broadcast the program at 1 a.m. Monday and is offering it online. Viewers took to Twitter to complain. This is a Downton disaster, one Tweet said. The popular British series follows the lives of an aristocratic family and their servants in 1920s England.
