Apparently some markets cut the broadcast and pretended like the channel was unavailable.

King shit
The music was properly licensed. This is just a joke, based on the news story that came out this week that Lee Mendelson Film Productions is suing people that use the music without permission:

Colbert is extremely careful and has every single thing that happens on his show run through CBS’ lawyers first. CBS would have cut the segment if it were anything other than a joke.
I live for this level of pettiness and spite.
