Would you consider watching a play from the audience "live" even though there is an amount of time it takes (although incredibly minuscule) for the light and sound to reach your eyes and ears? If so, what is your criteria for how long it must take for light/sound to reach you for it to be not considered live?
I stand corrected. At its closet point (38.6 million miles, which was in October 2020 and only occurs about every 15 years), Radio signals would indeed take just over 3 minutes to reach Earth.
Time is relative dude.

Still not 'Live' though...
By this standard literally nothing is live.
