cablecast

Send via cable

Cablecast means to broadcast via cable television rather than over the airwaves.

As a noun, a cablecast is a program transmitted this way: The city council meeting will be cablecast on the public access channel.

The word follows the pattern of broadcast and telecast but specifies cable as the distribution medium.
