Talk:Live television

Anglo-centric

The article is far too Anglo-centric and US-centric. The US and the UK are not the only countries to use live TV! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.232.147.67 (talk) 13:05, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Famous Incidents section

The News segment mentions that R. Budd Dwyer was "falsely convicted." Is this accurate? I have never heard this assertion before, and it does not appear in the article on Wikipedia. 71.211.41.52 23:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I took it out. Unsourced an NPOV violation. 23skidoo 17:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

General

Just wondering... at what point does "live" stop being live? Is it 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 mins? Does it distinguish between a continuous feed (bleeped or cut for censorship) vs something played back from tape (or a digital source). Would a 5 minute delay for censorship still be live if there's no (other) editing taking place?

1) What about reality shows that are braodcasted live? 2) the article is slightly POV when saying that live TV si more dramatic or apealing. I know its case but it should be referneced for instance ratings of live sports vs. non-live.

I think that the curse words in this article should be sensored! 66.245.85.113 (talk) 21:49, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Budd Dwyer viewership

I'm removing the unsourced statement that Dwyer's suicide by viewed by 50 million people. First off if it was broadcast live at all (and I don't believe it was -- this also needs to be verified) it would have only been seen locally, not by 50 million people. Certainly that many probably saw the news footage later, but that isn't the same as a live broadcast. 23skidoo 17:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Andrew Dice Clay on the Emmys

Does anyone recall what year Andrew Dice Clay did an infamous, profanity-laced routine during the Emmy Awards which was one of the events that sparked the implementing of delayed broadcasts for such events? I'm thinking 1987-88 but I can't be certain. 23skidoo 18:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

"Famous incidents on live television"

This really needs cleaning up. Incidents of people saying "fuck" on live TV (not actually all that rare in the modern era) are mixed in with huge worldwide news events like the Moon Landings. That description "famous" is also a magnet for POV. It also needs globalising: where's the incident where gay rights protestors invaded the BBC news studio, for example? And so on. 86.132.141.139 (talk) 01:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

The report that "instant replay" was first used in the 1963 Army-Navy game is inaccurate; it was actually used weeks earlier to rebroadcast Lee Harvey Oswald's fatal shooting, which only NBC had been covering live at the moment it happened.

Michael Jackson's funeral

I'm sorry, but Michael Jackson's funeral service was emphatically not the biggest event ever on live television. So I have placed a "neutrality disputed" citation there. Anyone who believes that the Jackson funeral was TV's biggest event has an extremely narrow and limited perspective. His funeral was not something that will affect the course of history. Events such as the JFK assassination, the Martin Luther King assassination, the first lunar landing, the first launching of a U.S. astronaut into space, the Watergate hearings, the Nixon resignation, and the 9/11 terrorist attack are far more important and "bigger" events than the funeral of a pop music star, however famous that star may have been.AlbertSM (talk) 16:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

First or earliest live broadcasts?

Televised Deaths

I removed the following paragraph:

It is because of this spontaneously quality that three deaths have been shown live on national television in the United States. The first was when boxer Emile Griffith fatally knocked out Benny "The Kid" Paret on March 24, 1962 live on NBC. The second was Lee Harvey Oswald's murder by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963 on NBC. CBS and ABC were carrying coverage of President Kennedy's passing with live scenes from Washington at the time. Four local VHF stations in Dallas-Fort Worth did carry the shooting live. The third live death on American national television was that of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who died in a crash at the Daytona 500, carried live on FOX. Surprisingly, none of the many deaths at the Indianapolis 500 over the years were ever broadcast live on national TV in the U.S.

It can't be readily verified that these were the only three nationally televised deaths, and in fact several others easily come to mind. The Challenger disaster was televised on CNN, and all the news channels showed the second plane hitting the WTC on 9/11, causing hundreds of deaths. Also, Benny Paret didn't die on TV, his death was 10 days after the fight. I think this paragraph is a case of inaccurate trivia. --LP ^talk 18:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Comparison of live/recorded television article proposal

I have been making a table about live broadcasts compared to Recorded broadcasts which you can see here and I need some opinions on any mistakes or anything which could be added to the table so that it could be included in the Live Television Article or in a seperate article (Title below). This table aims to give a comparison of a live programme against a recorded programme and the advantages (Pros) and disadvantages (Cons) of each, including delayed live broadcasts. A article titled Comparison of live/recorded television could be created. Paul2387chat 21:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

It looks like original research to me; as such, it has no place here. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

The Phrase ...

Within the article section: Uses of Live Television, the incomplete statement is provided as "In 2015, a female CityNews journalist confronted a group of young men who had used the phrase;" Obviously the phase is unlikely to be repeated here on Wiki, however reference to the phrase, without actually providing it earlier in the article, leaves a gap. This sentence could be updated to simply refer to a generic vulgar phrase. SquashEngineer (talk) 19:50, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
