That 80s satellite "latency" was not due to the satellite
It was because encoding was so slow. With a GSO satellite the round trip delay is a little over a quarter of a second. For a double round trip (ask a question and get the answer) it adds barely half a second, not noticeable in a typical Q&A style interview.
It is 80s technology that was the problem, not the satellite.
