# If the mic is by the clockface, that is.
Radio waves are much faster than sound. The electric signal passes through to you quicker than UHF (TV) waves. Plus, TV was probably on a special 'Ozzy Delay'.

# right.
331.45 m/s air at stp, 55m high so takes 0.16 seconds.
i reckon the delay in processing audio for radio is longer than that?
