no show is ever "live" anymore. FCC regulations and stuff. Just my 2cents.

A 7 second delay is still considered live. Even before created delays, the natural delay between satellite uplink back to network, up to satellite again, and to the TV/Cable then out to public could be the same amount of delay ... It is still called live. Something recorded then rebroadcast should not be called "live", though production calls it live-to-tape, but many shows like the Tonight Show are done that way.

I thought "live" meant 1-shot. They didn't have various takes and edits. So the show is taped live and then broadcast whenever they please.

Nothing on TV is actually "live" anymore.

At the very least, there is a 5 or 10 second delay.

Catbowl parts of the program are pre recorded, but when Julie is talking to the HG's during the Thursday shows that claim to be live, those parts are live. The voting is live. The studio audience is really there in the studio when we watch it in the eastern time zone. Wednesday's show this week looked live, but it was never advertised or claimed to be live. Mountain time and pacific time get recordings. But you are in the eastern time zone. Eastern and central get partially live shows.

Most live shows that have taped inserts will say somewhere, "portions pre-recorded." Probably because someone somewhere will try to sue for misrepresentation.

I always think of "live" as happening in person in front of you, e.g. a conversation at your dinner table. Anything that happens on Big Brother is "television" with all the production values that entails.

I've worked in live TV more than 20 years. A live TV program has nothing to do with parts inside the show that are pre-recorded or if it is edited. The TV news is a live program with many recorded pieces. American Idol performance shows are live programs (on the east coast) with many recorded segments in them.

The use of delay does not factor into if a show is live. Only that it is going out to the public, moments after it is done. A credible show will not put a "live" bug on the screen, unless the program is live to at least part of the country, or the world. Very few shows are live across the entire country except for sports, The Oscars and the Emmy Awards.

I cannot watch shows like Wipeout which try to look live, even though the whole thing is pre-recorded and presented as a live event. They don't go as far as to put live on the screen, but the fake commentary aspect of it makes it impossible for me to watch.

Catbowl .. I'm curious as to why you believe the entire Thursday show was pre-recorded.

30 Rock is doing a live show this season. The coolest thing about it is that they are actually doing 2...1 for both coasts!
Love that! Being in California, we never see anything really live, and 30 Rock felt our pain!! yeay!
