Live television is a production broadcast in real-time, as events happen in the present. There are no do-overs or take-two options compared to film, some tv shows and reality-tv, which may include post-production.
The challenge
The most obvious challenge to live broadcasting/streaming is there are no do-overs! Having no room for errors means extra caution and planning before going live with your television show or stream.
Some other challenges include last-minute changes to the run of show, talent running late and equipment malfunctions.
What I did
Having no room for errors means extra caution and planning before going live with your television show or stream. It is essential to conduct checks on the company’s backup power, internet bandwidth and technical equipment to ensure that standards are met.
