live broadcasting

Streaming as happens

Live broadcasting is the transmission of audio or video content as events unfold, without delay or editing.

Unlike recorded media, live broadcasts reach audiences in real time: The concert was available via live broadcasting on three platforms.

The term covers television, radio, and internet streaming.

News events, sports, and ceremonies are common subjects.
