Eight ViacomCBS VIAC, +1.44% networks went off the air for eight minutes and 46 seconds on Monday night in a tribute to George Floyd, the black man who was pronounced dead soon after white Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for that long, and whose death has sparked civil unrest around the world over the past week.

This is a scary time and riots are everywhere; we need to discuss these things with our children and they need to know about equality and their rights.”
