Live
A Live show is when a programme, in a studio, is recorded live and is aired on TV at the same time. Meaning that people at home are watching said programme at the same time as it is being recorded.
This can be either News shows, sports games, live musical broadcasts ('The Sound of Music Live' or 'Grease Live' or 'Hairspray Live', or special events that are happening like royal weddings and such.
Within live TV anything can go wrong, and it is important that the whole crew, especially the Producer and the Director, are prepared for a mishap to help it run as smoothly as possible.

AS Live
Similarly an AS Live show is when a programme, in a studio, is recorded in the same way a live show is recorded, it's just not aired on TV at the same time. So people at home are watching said programme after it has been recorded and edited.
Even though the shows are filmed before the show is aired, the majority of the programme is still recorded to the required duration, meaning the post production is kept to a minimum. By recording near to the require duration, it ensures that the programme can air quickly after the recording of it and it also keeps the excitement and reality that Live TV brings to the screens.

The reason why some shows choose to film As Live rather than Live is because there is less chance of things going visibly wrong and there is more control meaning the show will hopefully be more polished than if it was on air live. There would be more opportunity to re-record elements of the show to make improvements if anything goes wrong or doesn't look right the first time.
However, along with the advantages, there are also disadvantages. When shows try to create the feeling of a true live show, it can make the show lose some 'edge'. This means that the excited energy and feeling of the unknown for the audience is jeopardised and some of that energy is lost for the audience.
The common themes in AS Live are:
- There is usually an audience in the studio
- It is usually recorded in a studio and more than likely requires a full studio floor crew
- It's often driven by special events or special dates
- VT inserts are often used
