radio broadcast
Over-the-air show
A radio broadcast is the transmission of audio content—such as music, news, talk shows, or emergency alerts—over radio waves for public reception.
The term covers both the act of transmitting and the program itself: We listened to the radio broadcast of the championship game.
Broadcasting differs from narrowcasting in that it aims to reach a wide, general audience rather than a specific target group.
