Shows that are regularly broadcast directly as they happen, rather than prerecorded.

For the most part actually a few seconds behind, both for technical reasons (the signal only goes so fast) and legal ones (you need to be able to bleep things that offend the Moral Guardians)

If this only happens with select instances, it's a Live Episode.

Examples of Broadcast Live include:


Live Action TV

Film

  • The 2000 live broadcast of the remake of Fail Safe

Radio
