Shows that are regularly broadcast directly as they happen, rather than prerecorded. Both {{Radio}} and UsefulNotes/{{Television}} were regularly broadcast live when those media were new, and as a consequence much of both early radio and early TV is lost. Quite a bit of radio programming is still broadcast live, while most of TV isn't, although sports and news are still live.

* Up until the late 1940s, CBS and NBC had rules against airing recorded material on their networks, barring a few exceptions [[labelnote:e.g.]](occasional news items such as the 1937 Hindenburg disaster and a few D-Day reports in 1944; a few NBC Blue programs were allowed starting in 1939 to record the East Coast broadcast and air it three hours later for the West Coast instead of having to do a second live show for the West as was common practice)[[/labelnote]], making this an EnforcedTrope for many old-time radio shows. Mutual, on the other hand, was much more permissive with recordings. ABC was the first to air programs that were recorded and edited before broadcast starting with Creator/BingCrosby's ''Philco Radio Time'' in 1946. CBS and NBC's "no recordings" rules were abolished by 1949.
