When the Today show broadcasts its beeps to signify the hour mark, it's slightly delayed on FM, delayed further on DAB, and delayed even further on internet radio because of buffering. So why bother?

Always thought they should 'warble' the pips on platforms where the time is inaccurate. Should be very easy to do.

Trying to wrap my head around that concept. Surely on internet radio, the buffer gap would vary depending on the device, no? Or have I misunderstood you?

I'm simply saying that when radio is fed into a digital platform the time signal should be detected (easy) and processed so that it sounds warbled. So the user knows not to rely on it.
