Radio/TV timing question

I'm no techo wiz, but I think depending upon the variables of satellite/cable/over air signals, you'll have varying time delays.

Are you pulling the radio broadcast over the air, or via some sort of streaming service? Over the air radio is always 2-3 seconds ahead of TV.

Over the air.  It was about five seconds behind the TV.

Over the air radio isn't always ahead of TV, or at a constant amount of time ahead or behind.  I like listening to the Sunday/Monday/Thursday night games on the radio, and sometimes due to a scheduling conflict, WFAN will join the game in progress and have the game from the start on CBS co-owned station WCBS, which is a straight news station.  After the game is joined in progress, it will be on both stations, but not synched up.  I think WFAN is several seconds behind.  Presumably it's on a permanent seven-second delay to deal wiht the possibility of callers using obscenities.

Call me crazy (and you will be right!), but I think the TV signal travels from East to West. It always seems to me that the East time zone gets the feed a second before the Central, who gets it a second before the Mountain, etc. etc.

No idea about radio. I can recall local stations using the "dump button" on live broadcasts, although there is a limit on how long it can be used. IOW, they have had to take breaks to allow "the dump button to recharge" (their quote).

I've only tested the differences between radio and TV with 49ers and Raiders games here in Northern CA, there could be variations with different teams/networks/broadcast regions.

Lance Briggs and Nik Tesla agree, you're probably crazy.

My son was doing a radio broadcast of a college football game a few years ago.  He was in he broadcast truck parked outside of the stadium and they had the game, only on radio, coming directly from the stadium and also coming in through a satellite connection.   Hard to believe but the satellite feed was about 2 seconds ahead of the direct broadcast from inside the  stadium.   He was working as technician in the truck so he had both feeds coming in to the studio.
