Why is the web stream (up to) 90 seconds behind the live broadcast?

0

This is a symptom of the method we are using to encode and deliver our stream. The time required to digitize our stream, upload it to the remote server which then relays it out to all listeners, who then need to buffer it on their computers before translating it back into an analog audible signal creates this ‘lag’. We felt the cost savings were worth the minor delay.
