untelevised
Kept off air
Untelevised describes events, performances, or proceedings that are not broadcast on television.
The term often carries connotations of exclusivity or limited access—what happens untelevised may feel more authentic or unguarded precisely because cameras aren't rolling.
Gil Scott-Heron's famous line "the revolution will not be televised" gave the concept cultural weight, suggesting that truly transformative moments occur beyond media coverage.
The band's untelevised rehearsals were looser than their live shows.
