Is there any readily available free software that would let me fairly
readily delay the audio from an FM source (radio) with the action from
a streamed football match which may be ~90s behind real time.

The FM commentary is much better but hearing what is going to happen a
minute or so later from what I'm seeing is not a lot of fun.

Platform is Win10.

My first thought: can you use an ordinary audio recording software, and
set it playing from 90s back? but (a) that would require a physical
connection from the FM radio to the sound card, and (b) I wouldn't be
surprised if recording software won't let you play back from the channel
that's being recorded.

My second thought: is the FM channel available from the broadcaster's
website? Some broadcasters allow you to "listen from the beginning" of a currently-still-on programme, and either you could click that button
just as the visual game starts, or maybe click it and play with back and
forth buttons if offered.

VLC Media Player is capable of streaming. Under the tools menu it also
has a function to advance or retard the audio vs video tracks. I've
used the latter feature with pre-recorded material and it worked for
me. I've not tried to use it with the streaming feature but I can't
see why it wouldn't work that way.

I don't know which is why I'm asking. I can use a microphone to
record from the FM radio.

Unfortunately not. The digital channel does not broadcast the live
broadcast, it is only available over the area in the locality.

You could try this:

It seems like exactly what you need. Usual cautions apply of course.
I just found it very quickly with a G search, which is probably what
you could've done too...

Well in the past the benefit of asking a specialised group on Usenet
use to often throw up someone who had actual experience without having
to apply "Usual cautions apply" generated by some unknown product that
made its way to a google search output.

But thanks nonetheless for introducing me to G searches.
