satellite broadcasting
Space-relayed programming
Satellite broadcasting is the transmission of television or radio signals via satellites orbiting Earth, allowing coverage of vast geographic areas from a single source.
Signals travel from ground stations up to satellites, which relay them back down to receivers—typically small dish antennas on homes or buildings.
The technology enabled nationwide and international broadcasting that terrestrial towers couldn't reach: Satellite broadcasting brought hundreds of channels to rural areas.
