I'm sorry but that's rubbish. use of a delay system is very uncommon in the UK.
If The One Show was time delayed then this wouldn't have happened the other day: http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2010/01/22/buffoon-patrick-kielty-shows-off-christine-bleakley-s-mobile-number-on-tv-115875-21985720/
Do not confuse it with a tape delay to shift something to a more convenient time or last minute post production such as a quick turn around award ceremony
Yes and as you'll see, that article mentions only two programmes that have a live delay - Big Brother and one of the Brit Awards. The Baftas are recorded and played back at a better time and are edited to tighten them up and remove some awards
That UFC 105 thing doesn't sound right, the page about it says it was on tape delay in the US (for obvious reasons) - no mention that it was even on TV in the UK.
That's not the same either. What that means is just that they won't some feeds straight to air, usually those from a third party like an agency (if it's your own crew you can control what they film more). In those cases everything goes through a journalist/editor and is clipped up to make sure that nothing too grisly gets to air. Quite sensible really, some of the stuff that comes in live from the likes of AP or Reuters can be a bit graphic and you don't know exactly what you're going to get
All news programmes are live and there have been a few occasions of swearing etc on press conferences and the like shown by all channels in recent times to prove this
Even GMTV has a broadcast delay of around seven seconds!
Does it? *Citation please*
The reason the National Television Awards have a slight broadcast delay (wasn't that long) is in case anybody accidently swears and they can bleep it out quickly - just like they do on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, Big Brother, The ONE Show, Loose Women, Paul O'Grady Show, Alan Titchmarsh Show, The Bill Live and in Februrary, EastEnders Live.
The only programme which is broadcast live, and not 'as-live', which has to be by law, are the National Lottery Draws.

The reason for the delay is to comply with OFCOM's Broadcasting Code. In 2005 the BBC said that as part of their editorial guidelines there would also be a delay on sensitive news (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4121406.stm ).
