And that's... the rest of the story. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I timed it this morning: WINS'S HD signal, on WWFS's HD3 channel, is a whopping 50 seconds behind the AM broadcast. So that means one is really hearing "traffic on the 2's"! What could possibly be the reason for such a delay?
And while we're talking about it - hasn't it been posited around here before that the tone is a bit off on the AM side too, because of some sort of audio processing delay? Which leads one to ask: why the tone at all?
