This came about after lots of complaints about TV and Radio presenters swearing as well as blurting out offensive jokes/comments etc.(Edith Bowman and Chris Moyles are two names that top the list believe it or not)
The same 15 minute guideline is adopted by most radio stations as well, so when Moylesy says its 7.30 get up he actually said that 15 minutes before.
Ofcom also adopted the same sort of timings on TV programs aired on line.

I'm sorry but radio stations are live, well there certainly isn't a delay of 15mins. Maybe 30 seconds or so, but not 15..
