The concept of deferred is a concept that is used as a qualifying adjective to designate mainly those events that are transmitted with delay through television or radio or any other means of communication. This delay may be due to issues related to broadcasting rights as well as the need to edit or control the way in which the images reach the mass public (for example, when you want to avoid transmitting rudeness or violent scenes of a certain event).
In general terms, the term deferred acts as an adjective when applied to those elements that are transmitted or published to those that receive them with delay or delay. When there is a deferred transmission, we are talking about a transmission that is not happening live (that is, at the same time it happens) but is being transmitted with a few minutes, seconds or even hours of delay.
In many cases, the deferred nature has to do with the fact that some companies have transmission rights for certain events and eventually decide when it is best for them to publish them. In other cases, the fact that something, an event or show, is transmitted as deferred also has to do with the companies or entities that control the publication of content having adequate time to edit and ensure that images considered unsuitable ( for example, related to sexual matters, rudeness or violence) are not published during family hours. Finally, other times the fact that an event is transmitted as delayed is related to the delay with which the images or sound material can reach the place where it is transmitted. Although this last explanation is the least feasible today (and especially due to the importance of Internet connections), it was one of the most central in previous decades in which the connections for the media were not entirely good. and it could take hours or days to travel great distances.
