Live television
Summary
Live television refers to television broadcast in real time. Today it is used mostly for programs such as Today, CBS This Morning, and local television news. However, from the early days of television until about 1958, it was used heavily, except for filmed shows such as I Love Lucy and Gunsmoke. Videotape did not exist until 1957.In general live television was more common for broadcasting content produced specifically for television in the early years of the medium, before technologies such as videotape recording appeared. As video recording became more prevalent, many entertainment programs were recorded and edited before broadcasting rather than being shown live.

That functionality has caused some controversy, and it's the focus of "In Memoriam," a commercial about a funeral for commercials.

Data Points: Social Savior
With all the DVRing and ad-skipping going on, social TV apps offer the promise that the chance to chat in real time with fellow fans can lure people back to live TV (and the commercials). But is social TV generating more involvement with the ads or just a distraction?
