I guess the simple answer is YES. If you're attending a ball game that's being broadcast on an FM IBOC station then you're out of luck.
Now you're really screwed if the station in question is in a profanity delay.

AM IBOC (HD) also has an ~8 second delay. Besides the problem this is to people listening to a game off the air while watching it in person, it also makes time tones "at the top of the hour" not so useful.

Time tones are still useful...
When you hear the tone you know your 7-8 seconds late.<P ID="signature">______________

There's a slight delay on television broadcasts now. You can listen to the radio, hear the crack of the bat, and glance up in time to see the hit!

SDARS providers (Sirius & XM) have so much delay (maybe fifteen seconds) that I can hear something live (e.g. BBC on shortwave, undelayed CNN, a game broadcast on a local analogue AM station) and still have time to fire up my reciever, go through its downloading process of building up a cache, switch to the channel, and hear the same thing. Thank Godess the SDARS providers are beyond those unnecessary profanity delays.<P ID="signature">______________

I'd imagine the profanity delays are still in play, and add to the lag time, on talk programs that the SDARS services pick up from terrestrial radio, right? (e.g., "Monsters of the Morning," which XM picks up from Clear Channel's WTKS Orlando.)

In Talk Radio we've dealt with delays since the beginning of our time. Obviously, callers hear pre-delay. It would seem to me that SIRIUS and XM would want an undelayed signal. The ability to hear an uncensored feed is part of their marketing.
