![]() The problem is especially pronounced during the playoffs. ![]() It's a little more than frustrating, especially on those days when the Tigers are being broadcast nationally and watching the game on TV means getting stuck with two broadcasters who a) I don't know and b) don't know the Tigers. Today, if I mute the television and turn up the radio, the audio feed is about seven to ten seconds ahead of the video feed, and that makes for a mentally jarring experience. These days, it's not quite so simple, what with the various delay times on audio and video feeds. No offense to George Kell and Al Kaline in the WDIV broadcast booth, but Ernie and Paul were my friends every night of the week, and I wanted to hear them on Sundays as well, even though the game was on TV. It was a Sunday in late June and I was all of seven years old when I first discovered the magic: I could turn down the sound on the Tigers game on television, turn up the radio in the living room, and just like that, I could watch the game while still listening to Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.
