That reminds me of watching games in San Francisco on TV when I was just a kid, back in the late 50s and 60s. I don't remember the exact radio station call letters, but I would also turn down the volume on the TV and listen to the radio play-by-play. At that time, the legendary Russ Hodges was the main announcer and he was one of the best announcers at that time. Delay was not a problem; there was no delay, it didn't exist at the time...

A side note: I am no fan of the Dodgers, but I will listen to the innings called by Vin Scully, the Dodgers also legendary announcer. He doesn't call as many games or innings as he used to (he's going to be 87 years old soon), but there really is no one around today who can call a game the way he calls them...
