What would be the cause/source of what would seem to be rather obvious sound of delay combing? I've only noticed it on re-runs of movies or TV shows.

Does the effect seem to be limited to certain channels? Or maybe to a certain TV/playback system? Or maybe both? That would be the fist differential I'd look at; trying to narrow down the source.

I wondered if it'd be you come to my rescue' here- 
Yeah, this is something I've noticed over the years actually very sporadically, on different channels, from my set and a few others around and along the way I guess.
Sometimes it's fairly subtle (let's say like a 10 or 20% wet combing') other times very obviously deeper than that.
I've always figured they have some source of 'multi paths crossing up in their systems somewhere.
..I've stumbled across old 'Archie Bunker re-runs- Comes to mind as an example where they always seem to be messed up rather badly..

If you're holding out for a hero, Bonnie Tyler, I'm not the guy. 
I can't tell you just what you're talking about without hearing it myslef. I was afraid you might give the answer you did, because it obviously can't help to narrow it down other than to say it apparently is not a specific station or TV.
You mentioned multi-pathing, which was one thing I thought of if it was analog broadcast TV (though typically that will affect the video at least as much or more than just the the audio).
Other options that come to mind (just shooting in the dark here):
- Bad/worn videotape of the re-runs at the stations causing some flutter on the audio track.
- Some poor mix of false stereo played through a mono or close-stereo TV playback, or a mono signal being false stereo-ized by a decoder in a stereo TV.
- Too much Johnny Walker Red (either at the station or in your home, or both).

Right on the multi-path in broadcast signal and since it's not in the picture I was thiking 'audio/electrical.
