By the way, I should also qualify my earlier comments about the time errors in NPR New Year's broadcasts of years past. I implied that they might have been the result of carelessness, but that's probably not the case. More likely, each feed was subjected to multiple delays for content assessment. In other words, to make it possible to kill the feed in case someone uttered one of those words that must never be heard on the airwaves of the USA. Quite possibly, there was a delay on the feed from the remote site, and another one on the national feed from D.C. However, I did sometimes visualize an exasperated producer trying to cue the musicians to do the countdown and being ignored until they were good and ready. But I don't actually know if that ever happened. If I were inclined to bet, I'd probably be willing to put money behind it, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109963
