Why is WLW Delayed Tonight? - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Sitting here in the cheap seats listening to Marty call the game as usual, but he is a few seconds behind the action on the field. Any reason for this? It's getting a little annoying to tell the truth.

It feels as if as if it's in sync with the TV broadcast... (not the 7 second delay as usual)

I dont like it when its ahead of the TV bc you know what happens before it actually does. Its way behind tonight though, they just cant time it right.

KittyDuran · 07-18-2006, 07:30 PM

OK, it is about a second behind the TV broadcast...

Matt700wlw · 07-18-2006, 07:31 PM

It's out of "delay," but with the High Definition signal we now have, there's still going to be a slight delay...

It's literally about 5 seconds behind for me.

A Tivo or DVR box can also play into the mix.

Now its back to normal, ha.

Despite what Matt says about HD, I think they're afraid the Reds performance will cause Marty to use naughty words that'll get the station into trouble with the FCC. To prevent this, they've put a delay on the audio and Matt's actually back at the station with his finger on the "dump button" waiting for f-bombs..

I was sitting in section 522 and they were a pitch behind the first few innings. Then I mysteriously lost the signal for awhile. Or my radio is funky.

On the Tracy Jones show Sunday, the S word got through. Tracy played it very calm and went on with the conversation.

Just a note that the XM satellite radio baseball broadcasts are usually around 12 seconds behind the TV broadcast. It is nice having TIVO.

I too noticed the delay on Tuesday nites game...and the thing that burns me most is that when I called the Reds Radio Network during the second inning about the delay on WLW, I was told the game "is not in delay!" and then the guy who answered the phone just stayed silent as I has told him the game was way out of sync with FSN (which isnt usually the case)...I guess the guy was right in that by denying and staying silent I would just hang up...

Our local affiliate (Columbus) also has the HD signal which does cause a considerable delay until sun down for some reason which they couldnt or wouldnt explain to me...I guess I may just have to give up listening to Marty, Steve and Joe on the radio and go straight TV with George and Chris..which honestly is a hard thing for me to accept since I have being doing the TV sound down, radio on for many, many years....or I guess I may have to pony up for tivo or dvr....greaaat

TIVO/DVR via cable is about maybe $5 extra a month. Call your cable company.

Maybe the WLW producer forgot to take it out of delay originally and then realized it needed to be.

It happens.
