The live item blurs live and on-demand into one experience

Quote

As you begin to support the new tags, you begin to blur the lines between live and on demand because it all just becomes sort of one thing in the app.

Summary

Radio stations have split listeners into two experiences: a 'listen live' button on the website and a separate app for past episodes. With the live item tag, an app can flip between live and on-demand in one place, so the stark distinction disappears.
