broadcasts
Airs to audiences
Broadcasts are transmissions sent out over radio, television, or the internet—programs intended for wide reception rather than a specific recipient.
The word also serves as a verb: a station broadcasts news, a network broadcasts a game.
To broadcast information more generally is to spread it widely: She broadcast the news to everyone she knew.
The agricultural sense—scattering seed broadly rather than in rows—came first.
