Baseball broadcast delays frustrate fans syncing TV and radio

Original: Back in the day I could watch a tv # baseball game and listen to it's # radio audio. Now there's upwards of a thirty sec

A baseball fan has complained that watching a game on television while listening to the radio call no longer works because broadcasts now run up to thirty seconds out of sync. The fan, following the Tampa Bay Rays on a Spanish-language broadcast, called the delay annoying and joked about using it to practice Spanish listening skills.

Why now: Broadcast lag between TV and radio feeds is a recurring annoyance for fans who like to combine the two, prompting complaints whenever delays grow longer.
