Why is the delay (ping) on professional TV video calls absurdly high?

619 views

So many times I see a guy video calling another crew across the country and it can take a solid 5-10 seconds before we hear them reply. I’ve seen kids in siberia with better ping.

So it’s already been pointed out that this most likely using a satellite. Just as a interesting thought, when you tune in to watch a show see how many seconds it begins after it’s scheduled time, 4K can be around 45 seconds. Really makes those New Years Countdown shows awkward as hell if you try celebrating along.
