broadcast delay

broadcast delay
A very brief postponement, achieved by technical means, often used in the public broadcasting of live radio or television programs in order to provide sufficient time to edit out undesired content, such as profanity or coughing.

Some networks have started using a broadcast delay on live programs to catch any offensive material before it aired.

Syn: 5-second delay, 7-second delay, profanity delay, tape delay
