TV on the Radio

Filed under: NFL

Why is the radio call four seconds ahead of the TV for Vikings games?

A reader complains that the radio call for Vikings games is four seconds faster than the TV. Anybody else having this problem?

Like many Viking fans I like to listen to the Vikes on the radio while watching the game. The national announcers aren't nearly as much fun. Of late, however, there is about a four second lapse between the game and the radio, with the radio being the faster. Unfortunately this wrecks the play since you know what will happen before it does. Have any other people expressed concern about this? Can it be remedied? Thanks.

During the first series of plays the KFAN feed will usually be off by a few seconds. Coming out of the first TV break, though, KFAN's audio is almost always in pretty good synch with the action on the screen.

Then again, I'm watching the crappy broadcast feed; I suspect your reader subscribes to a satellite TV service.

Remedy? Run your radio signal through one of these:
