What extra context? I don't see anything...?
I think it a little unlikely; broadcasters usually apply their own profanity delay in the feed to the transmitter, it would be most unusual for them to request a delayed feed from the source theatre; and note, too, that the delay needs to be both sound and vision, and the theatre itself is unlikely to have the facilities to add video delay; besides, the idea of having audio and video delays applied separately, at different points in the signal chain, and controlled by different people, sounds to me like a recipe for technical disaster!
Also, if this were the case, why would they mention 'façade'? Generally speaking, a totally separate feed would be used for broadcast, quite different from that used for in-house FOH sound reinforcement.
It would certainly help to have a bit more context to work with, but even from what we've got, I somehow doubt that your 'broadcast' theory is very likely in this particular instance. |
