Send over airwaves
Broadcast originally meant to scatter seed widely by hand, and the sense of wide distribution persists in all its uses.
To broadcast is to transmit radio or television signals to a large audience, or more generally to spread information widely: The network will broadcast the game live, Don't broadcast my personal business.
As a noun, a broadcast is a radio or television program.
The past tense is broadcast or broadcasted, with broadcast preferred.
