Since I work on 99.9% of the track shows that air on CBS,NBC,ABC,ESPN,TNT,Nick at Nite, The Food Channel(you get my point), I can categorically deny that false starts are routinely shown on taped shows. The only time they would be shown is when they become an integral There is always a pre-meet production meeting and that issue is raised every time--"False starts don't exist in our show". If there is a false start, the announcers will usually do what's called a "re-set", in which they redo the entire introduction to the event--records, lane assignments, etc. That is why you sometimes see a delay(if you're at the particular event) in the runners getting back into their blocks
