Usage notes
- Use in diretta for something happening live: in diretta TV, in diretta streaming. Direttamente means directly, not live.
- Diretta often contrasts with registrata: partita in diretta vs partita registrata.
- For transport, diretta can also mean direct route/train, but that is a different sense from broadcasting.
