LOUISVILLE — For generations, baseball fans brought portable radios to the ballpark so they could enjoy hometown broadcasters calling the action while watching the game unfold live. However, modern broadcast distribution technologies and digital processing have introduced delays of 10 to 20 seconds or more into many radio and streaming broadcasts, making synchronized listening virtually impossible.
The Louisville Bats have strived to solve that challenge after fans began expressing frustration over delayed game calls. It turned to a Humboldt County, Calif.-headquartered audio technology company for a remedy.
