There is no bug in IBOC. It has been known since the beginning that the
digital processing creates a 6 to 7 second delay; to allow analog fallback,
a delay must be introduced in the "main" signal as well. The only time this
is an issue is if the station uses on air live cues for spot coverage or, in
the case of KSL, the time chime.

This is not a bug. It is by design.
