LSU Radio Broadcast inside the Stadium issue

Maybe there is. I don't know because I never listen to it. I always heard the radio broadcast is always ahead of TV broadcast. But it was my understanding that the radio broadcast was really close to live play as far as timing goes. But my dad was saying he never had this big of a delay or any delay noticeable before.

On one play the radio broadcast was finishing up an advertisement and we were snapping the ball.

Radio is live unless intentionally delayed at the station. Some producers use a delay for live broadcast in case the crowd mics pick up something they want to mute, like profanity from the student section for example. I used to work in radio. We didn't delay live sports, but we did delay all live call-in shows by a few seconds. The remote equipment used to transmit the signal from the stadium to the station may have a slight delay depending on the uplink and type, but if there hasn't been a delay before then I doubt that's the issue (unless they've changed equipment).

First delay I have ever heard in the stadium for sure.

Maybe they were late sending in the signal.

I saw where some Alabama fans were discussing the same thing about radio in their stadium, and they said the only way to avoid the delay was to buy one of the radios they sell at the stadium.

I'm not savvy enough to know how or why this would make any difference, just relaying what they said. Maybe get in touch with the folks at the LSU radio network and run it past them?

One second delay while listening to 98.1 using a very small armband Sony radio. I don't find it annoying as I keep one ear free.

Chris Blair tweeted the issue with the delay should be fixed.

Was this ever fixed? Anyone still experiencing a broadcast delay while listening in the stadium?
