I saw the same thing happen about a week ago when a black woman was offering her perspective about what's happening to black people via the police - poof, the feed dropped entirely for CNN, not just the remote link to the person talking, the entire channel went offline for about 20 seconds with a "CNN Test" screen showing, when the channel came back it was a commercial.
