Eagles games to be broacast on WYSP AND WIP

CBS Radio's decision to broadcast Eagles games on WIP (610), in addition to flagship WYSP (94.1), will have a neat side effect for those who also watch on digital, cable or satellite TV.
Under CBS's plan, one station (to be determined) will broadcast on a delay so that Merrill Reese and Mike Quick's play-by-play will sync with the digital picture.

A nice bonus for when the Birds are on CBS with their C broadcast team.

That's awesome. I doubt I'll take advantage of it, but when listening to some of the clowns on the broadcast (like the old MNF crew) I was dying to listen to another broadcast and couldn't use the radio because of the delay issue.

Won't the delay depend on your cable/satellite company?

I've been trying to figure out a way to play Merrill/Quick instead of the Fox clowns for the last two years, but I think the delay from Sirius vs. DirectTV is too severe.

And I understand that this is just referring to WYSP/WIP and not Sirius, but I would still think that the broadcast differs between cable providers.

That's a good question now that I think about it.

I think the delay is a standard by network, but I don't know if cable has the exact same delay as DirecTV.

Additionally, there's a slight delay between SD and HD broadcasts.

I believe the "digital" cable and satellite delays are the same. If not, hopefully it will sync with satellite.

You are a selfish fuck for fucks sake.

People who turn down the TV and turn up the radio are d-bags

HA!

I've never done it because of the delay, but I'd absolutely do it if my choices were Merril/Mushmouth or Joe Theisman, for instance.

Love the chiming in by NEAG.


For nostalgia's sake, and the sake of "F", I try it and give up literally 3 plays in.

But I like havin the pre-game on anyway, before K/O.


Will Mike Quick suck twice as bad, now that he's on 2 stations simultaneously?

Just askin'.

I will probably never take advantage of this for 2 reasons...

1.) I like replay

2.) I can't stand that everything all the way down to a McNabb fart is sponsored by something or somebody on the radio broadcast.

Radio has its place place for me... in the car or outside when I can't see the game. That's about it.

I didn't even think about that, but I watch all the games at home on a DVR delay anyway.
