Interesting (and a little worrisome) that nobody but AggerRob mentioned any print media.

Guess we need the instant gratification of moving pictures these days -- even though, if you watch for any length of time, you realize that the "live shots" are basically repeating themselves over and over and using the same video tape "b roll" again and again.

*edit*

Just remembered Lionlove did mention LaMonde -- assuming that's the newspaper version.

And, Arya, I don't think there is really any "dubbing," or dialog replacement going on. With these new technologies, the live and tape material is much less stable than what we've come to expect. Each element must be run through a device called a "frame synchronizer" in order to make it legal for broadcast. If there is signal strength problems, or video breakup, that device momentarily freezes the video and can sometimes make the video and audio appear out of lip sync. Unless, of course, they're actually doing language replacement for translation where you are.
