directes

Directes is a Catalan term used to denote live broadcasts or live streams, commonly employed by media outlets to label content that is being transmitted in real time. It appears across radio, television, and online platforms, and is often shown in section headings, program guides, or news pages.

Directes functions as a noun derived from the adjective directe, with the plural form directes used to refer to several live programs or events. In everyday usage, the phrase en directe is used to describe the act of broadcasting live, while directe may appear in plural contexts to denote multiple live broadcasts.

In newsroom practice, directes appear as navigational labels such as Directes, Directes en streaming, or Directes del Parlament. They are common for news briefings, sports events, cultural performances, and public debates, where audiences can follow events as they unfold.

With the rise of internet streaming, directes have extended beyond traditional channels. Many Catalan-language sites and streaming platforms categorize real-time video or audio under Directes, enabling remote audiences to access live content instantly, often with accompanying comments or interactive features.
