national broadcasters

Nationwide media outlets

National broadcasters are television or radio networks that transmit programming across an entire country, as opposed to local or regional stations.

These organizations—whether publicly funded like the BBC or commercially operated like NBC—typically hold government licenses and serve as primary news and entertainment sources: The national broadcasters carried the president's address live.
