radiocast

Aired audio program

A radiocast is a broadcast transmitted by radio, or the program itself.

The word is an older formation that never caught on—broadcast absorbed its meaning entirely.

You might encounter it in historical contexts or as a deliberate stylistic choice: The president's radiocast reached millions of listeners.
