There are plenty of subtitle formats that come as a separate file rather than burned or embedded into the video. If whatever software they were using for broadcast selected the wrong sub it’s quite possible, though obviously the timing wouldn’t sync up.
SOP isn’t that far off from TEL so the possibility of selecting the wrong sub file seems to have decent potential
I’ve definitely seen TV with subtitles be off by minutes. I would guess it was something like that. Sopranos played before or after this show. Maybe it was early morning and sopranos played at 4 am. This show at 5. Idk. Just speculating.
Yeah, it happens because subtitles are usually files(or something integrated in a video container like MKV), it may happen that they used the wrong file while adding subs
Back then I think the conclusion was that someone had set up teletext subtitles from the wrong channel on that TV. It wasn’t an error from the station. I could be remembering wrong though, since I can’t find a source for that.
On a side note: The language of the subtitles also seems weird if this happened in Iceland. Wouldn’t they be in Icelandic?
Obviously that’s not possible, even with computers.
Edit: This is a Sopranos quote for shitposting purposes. I’m disappointed, Lemmy.
What do you mean, isn’t possible?

It could also be made up.
It’s a Soprano’s quote, when Chrissy is high as fuck at the wake rambling.

Another similar thing made its way across the internets a few years ago: https://www.boredpanda.com/tv-put-subtitles-kids-channel-political-debate-sweden/
