prerecording
Taped before broadcast
Prerecording is the act of recording something in advance of its broadcast or intended use.
A television program may be prerecorded rather than aired live.
The term also refers to the recording itself: We watched a prerecording of the interview.
The practice allows for editing and scheduling flexibility.
