One thing to keep in mind is the fact they these were all live
broadcasts last night and were probably all on some sort of intentional
delay device to keep a "Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction" from going
out over the air and risking a huge FCC fine. I don't think anything
outside of news is actually "live" anymore. It's too financially risky.

Last night, in observing the various New Year's Eve broadcasts,
this "problem" was in stark evidence. In fact, last night it was not
just the sound that was not in sync, it was the time as well. Some
TV broadcasts were as much as four or five seconds behind or ahead of
others as indicated by their countdown display clocks. None were
right on the money according to WWV, the "official" time signal of
the United States government. Now, a few seconds one way or the
other is obviously nothing to be alarmed about, but with all the
technology available and with all the technicians and equipment on
hand, why can't they get it right?
