How to delay the audio on radio

I love to listen to our local guys on the radio announce the football
game while watching the video. But in this day of digital HDTV, the
TV source is FAR behind the radio broadcast, approx 5 seconds (radio
is before HDTV).

Is there any device to allow me to hook up to the tape in/out, which
will let me control a delay up to 5 or 10 seconds for the audio?

Some new digital radios allow you to pause live radio - so you could
just press pause for 5 seconds. Not quite what you're after but...

Sure, a digital audio delay.

The first delay like that for video involved 2 quad decks, several
coathangers, and a lot of tape hanging in the air. It was called the
instant replay.

It used to be done with a cart machine but cart machines are all but gone.
For something that is a bit more modern, call a radio station that takes
phone calls and puts them on the air.

You can blame the FCC for most of this delay nonsense, not the technology.

With a few cables, a computer, and the free radiodelay software from http://www.daansystems.com/radiodelay/ I got this to work pretty easily.

Simply connect your radio's headphone out jack to your computers microphone in jack, run the radiodelay software and select your delay (from 0.1sec to 19.9sec), and the delayed sound will be played over your computer speakers. Rather than use the computer speakers you could also connect the computer's headphone output to your home stereo. (in my case I have an Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro plugged into a USB port which connects over a TOSLINK optical cable to my home stereo, over which I then listen to the delayed audio).

Now I'm all set to listen to the local sports announcers announce the games I'm watching on TV. If I could only use the delayed audio with my DVR now that would be cool :) .
