live broadcast
Unrecorded media event
A live broadcast is a radio or television transmission sent out as events happen, without delay or editing.
The term distinguishes real-time programming from recorded or pre-taped content: The ceremony will be shown as a live broadcast.
News coverage, sports events, and award shows are typically live broadcasts, where anything can happen on air.
