cablecasting
Non-antenna TV delivery
Cablecasting is broadcasting via cable television rather than over the airwaves.
The term distinguishes cable-originated programming from traditional broadcast transmission: The city council meeting will be cablecasting live on the public access channel.
The verb cablecast follows the pattern of broadcast and telecast.
