For us, watching the rampant lunacy on New Year's At The Needle
(referring to the Seattle landmark), and chuckling at how much latency there
is between the local TV station's countdown and our clocks. ...
Thanks for the heads up on the latency.

Rose Bowl parade! When I was at Caltech I lived a block from Colorado
Avenue and that was an amazing event, completely shut down the city for
several days as preparations were made and then the cleanup was done. Just
folks coming in their cars after the parade, to view the floats in a local

Do any TV stations carry serious time info? (maybe on part of the retrace
info)

Not now it's gone digital, not to mention via satellite. Here, the local
BBC-1 broadcast via Freeview (digital terrestrial) was about 6 seconds late.

Maybe next year we should see how much delay data we can collect. That's in
addition or instead of collecting leap second data. The usual ball drops at
local midnight so you have the time-zone offset to separate collecting
leap-second data and midnight-TV delay data.
That latency is the price we pay for digital TV. Local analog TV only had a
few 10s of microseconds of delay. Network had a few milliseconds latency
unless passed through a satellite.

TV delays of several seconds could be due to the time delay
built into programming to avoid wardrobe malfunctions and

Plenty of opportunities for that when covering the public
at a New Year's Eve celebration.

There are a number of sources for the delay.
When I worked for a TV station, it was almost impossible to cleanly
cut from network to local.
Network had time embedded in their signal that was constantly decoded
by the station and displayed in master control.
The offset from local time varied,
We usually go to bed around 10 PM or so. We get up around 8 in the morning and
hope it's all done. Then we watch the Rose Parade about 10 times. You never
know, you may miss something the first 8 or 9 times through. :.
