Sound travels from your television to you as waves in air at about 330m/s. Light (and all electromagentic radiation) travels at about 300,000,000 m/s.

The problem will be with the electronics.Your television receives the signal from the transmitter at the speed of light but if there is a problem processing the signal on either end of that transmission  (at the TV studio or your television) then the sound and vision can become out of synchronisation.

true sound is not transmitted to you television as sound so the same rule as light apply as light is an electromaggnetic wave as well it is a technical problem also consider that the picture is much more complex than the sound so will start to come out first if that is what you r refering to !
