How do they make the 'beep' sound for swear words so fast on the radio?!
Question: When im listening to the radio, sometimes people call up to talk. And when they swear, how do they people in the radio do the beep sound exactly at the swear word. How do they know they are going to say it. Im pretty sure its live. right?

Major markets have the required seven second delay, but most major markets pre-record their breaks. It's called voice-tracking. I know for a fact that all calls are pre-recorded. One of these days, try calling into your radio station to win something, if you do win, you'll notice that your call is delayed a few songs.
At our station we have a special machine/program (SHORTCUT 360) that edits calls and allows us to place the beeps exactly where they go.
As far as delays go, usually a delay is silent. So when the jock comes back it's randomly in the middle of a word or something.
There's a delay on MOST of the transmissions you hear.
That's how it gets censored most of the time.
its live..but there is like a 7 second delay...so what u hear was said 7 seconds or so earlier..giving the producers time to beep out foul words.
Nope, not exactly live - almost live. Yup, there's a 7-10 second delay in-studio to give the board operator a chance to bleep what needs to be bleeped. If it's a long tirade, he can always cut to a commercial and fix things up during the time available in the commercial break.
Then pick it up where they left off with most listeners none the wiser.

there's a delay between what is spoken and what is broadcast over the radio waves. Someone censers all the material during that delay.
The delay isn't very long... so yes, radio is very much "live."
they are just a few seconds behind in time from when you ring to it going live 9 times out a 10, but you can work it out some times if some one is going to sear, but then if they do not and beep it out we will never know as all we got was the beep

most radio stations and TV and etc. have a 5 second delay
so whatever the person says on the radio, you actually hear it 5 seconds later
