seven second delay?

[dslrpierce@peoplepc.com]

As a Program Director, it really boils down to your comfort level with the 
host's ability to understand how the system works and use it properly 
without making it sound like a train wreck on the air.  Those of us who 
spent time running boards before we became talk hosts are generally better 
able to understand how it all works and use it properly.  Unfortunately, so 
many talk hosts now come from outside the business and, therefore, have 
little or no understanding about the technical aspects of a broadcast.
