satellite feed

Signal from space

A satellite feed is a transmission of audio or video content sent via satellite, typically for broadcast purposes.

News networks receive satellite feeds from reporters in the field; stations may take a live satellite feed from a press conference.

The term emphasizes the raw transmission before it reaches viewers—what comes down from the satellite to be processed or aired.
