Were you, per chance, listening to their Internet stream rather than Live on FM?

Though 90 seconds sounds awfully long, I have certainly seen a 30 second delay between on air and what you hear on your computer. Unpredictable since the delay is defined (mainly) by the size of the buffer on the software player that you are using on your computer/smartphone/etc.

Good question
I was listening to the radio while working, with an extremely accurate digital readout on the company's GPS screen on the dash.

Six people in the world might actually care that it was 90 seconds off.... All of which are reading this.
