sound out of sync

Very strange,,,,,,my ch. 3 is out of sync with the audio.    When I have the news on in the morning, AZ Family 3 is also on NBC ch 5 at the same time....ch 5 works great....it is ONLY with ch 3.    I have turned the tv off, unplugged both the cable box and the tv for a few minutes, and have even had the signal to the cable box reset via the cox site.....nothing worked

    I doubt it's your equipment.  The signal is either out-of-sync leaving the studio, your affiliate or a corrupt compression scheme.

    You could contact your local affiliate.

    many of these folks are working from home + have you also noticed that some of the hand-offs to the other talent are also slower than when both are in the studio.

      I watch Fox & Friends in the morning and they're together in the "Big Studio," separated by maybe 40 feet in a triangle with a cluster of cameras in the middle for 3 different face-shots.

      When they talk to each other, they're talking via microphones and earpieces...not directly.  If they talked  to each other directly, they'd need to almost shout but shouting would over modulate the microphones, earpieces and our TV speakers.

      The delay...even in the same room...questions where the microphones are connected...where is the Control Room...and from where is the broadcast signal sent?  It could be 3 different buildings if not cities or states.  If 1 of the hosts speaks, the audio is routed somewhere, processes somewhere and returned from somewhere to each earpiece.
