The speed of light is key. Anything can be sent “live.” What matters is how far the receiver is from the source. Depending on how close you like to get to your monitor, what you’re reading right now is arriving in your eye about 2 nanoseconds after the photon leaves the screen.

I think some are missing the point of the OP’s question. Will a continuous broadcast be perceived as “live” as the source travels away from Earth?
