PBS apologises for old fireworks footage during live concert

American public broadcaster PBS has apologised for confusing viewers with old footage from previous Fourth of July concerts at this year's live broadcast.
The network cited weather as the reason behind their decision to showcase old fireworks footage from previous years, reported Ace Showbiz.
"With the weather being overcast, we showed a combination of the best fireworks from this year and previous years," PBS explained as many noticed the goof-up during "A Capitol Fourth" telecast in Washington, DC.
"It was the patriotic thing to do. We are very proud of the 2016 A Capitol Fourth celebration," they added.
"Because this year's fireworks were difficult to see due to the weather, we made the decision to intercut fireworks footage from previous A Capitol Fourth concerts for the best possible television viewing experience. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

The concert was hosted by Tom Bergeron. It featured performances by the likes of Sutton Foster, Gavin DeGraw, "The Voice" alums Cassadee Pope & Alisan Porter, Amber Riley and Smokey Robinson.
