Best Answer

Live programmes are delayed a few seconds to allow the censor time to mute the audio or block the picture in some cases.

This action came about after Janet Jackson exposed her breast during live halftime show at a ball game on CBS. The FCC fines broadcasters for allowing this kind of material getting on the air in the US.
