Have the ITU not dropped those requirements?
The current rec is https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-TF.460-6-200202-I/en It still demands 1 ms.
Digital production and distribution systems introduce many ms to s delays in broadcast time signals, even non-FM BBC stations, and many stations are off UTC by seconds from higher precision sources like NTP and GPS.
TF.460 is not about generic broadcasts of content, it is about broadcasts whose specific purpose is to be precision time signals. But most devices which provide access to precise values of UTC obtain that using newer technologies, not from these radio broadcasts. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
