Live TV broadcast from the wreck

[Eugene Nesmeyanov]

Hi everyone!
Could you please help me to find out when the very first live TV broadcast was conducted from the wreck of Titanic (i.e. from the depth)?

Some sources claim it was in 2005, but what about the Discovery Channel's "Titanic Live" in 1998?

"Titanic Live" was the first live broadcast from the wreck. It was LMOT that was filmed in 2005 via fiber optic cable but not all of LMOT was live. Parks has spoken about how they had to make sure they wore the same clothes because they had to do reshoots. Like for instance when certain shots of him controlling cameras were done after the show then edited in, the final broadcast version

Dstrattenfan - thank you!
I thought that maybe there were some technical differences between those two "live airs", in 1998 and 2005.

PS. "Titanic Live" is digitized from videotape here:
