broadcasted

Sent over airwaves

Broadcasted is an alternative past tense and past participle of broadcast, though broadcast alone remains standard for all tenses: The network broadcast the game yesterday.

Broadcasted appears occasionally but sounds nonstandard to many ears: They broadcasted the announcement nationwide.

The same pattern applies to forecast and telecast, where the unchanged form predominates.
