Learn French: Puisque l'émission est en direct, nous donnons l'information tout de suite. - Since the program is live, we give the information immediately.

While depuis translates to 'since,' it is only used for time (like 'since Tuesday'). To say 'since' as a reason, you use puisque. It is chosen over parce que when the reason is already obvious or known to the listener (since the show is live, as we all know...), whereas parce que simply introduces a new piece of information.

How does en direct translate to 'live'?

Literally meaning 'in direct,' the phrase en direct is the standard French way to say a broadcast is happening live. If a program is pre-recorded, it is called en différé.

Can émission be used for things other than television?

Yes! An émission refers to any broadcast program, including radio shows and podcasts. It comes from the verb émettre, meaning to transmit or emit.

Could I use immédiatement instead of tout de suite?

Absolutely. Both mean 'immediately' or 'right away.' Tout de suite is just a very common, everyday phrase that French speakers use frequently, while immédiatement sounds slightly more formal.
