Why does the pitch of American movies and TV shows go up slightly when it’s shown on British TV Channels? 532 viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question100.55K April 18, 2022 0 Comments When I see shows from America being on air on a British TV channel (I watch on the BBC), I noticed that the sound of the films, music or in general, they go up by one. Why does that happen?

This results in a tiny speed increase, and also audio pitch shifting up ever so slightly. You are viewing 1 out of 11 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
