national broadcast
Coast-to-coast airing
A national broadcast is a radio or television transmission intended to reach an entire country, as opposed to local or regional programming.
Network news, presidential addresses, and major sporting events typically air as national broadcasts: The Super Bowl is the most-watched national broadcast of the year.
The term often implies wider reach and higher production values than local content.
