If your delays are with Bally Sports broadcasts, the change from Fox Sports to Bally Sports earlier this year is a variable to consider. It could be a possible explanation for any increased delays in "live" TV broadcasting, as compared to last season. The number of recent Forum posts regarding issues with Bally Sports is a reason to suspect that any increased delay in their live TV broadcasts over the past few weeks might also be attributed to issues at Bally Sports.
Cox Communications has no operational control of the feeds from Bally Sports.
