Claim:
1. A method for presenting audio programming in synchronization with a visual event, comprising: with a visual display system, presenting a visual display at a first location, wherein one or more visual components are triggered by control signals during the presenting; in synchronization with the presenting of the visual display, providing first audio output from an audio system positioned at or proximate to the first location; and concurrently with the presenting of the visual display, providing, with a client device at a second location, an audio program including second audio output that is time synchronized with the one or more visual components of the visual display concurrently presented at the first location, wherein the second audio output and the one or more visual components of the visual display are time synchronized without substantially delaying, after the time synchronization, the presenting of the visual display or the providing of the second audio output, wherein the visual components of the visual display presented by the visual display system are directly viewable in the second location from the visual display system during the presenting of the visual display at the first location, and wherein the second location is remote from the first location whereby the first audio output from the audio system is of a poorer quality at the second location than the first location, is lost prior to reaching the second location, or is delayed prior to reaching the second location causing loss of the synchronization with the visual display at the second location.
