webcasters
Internet show hosts
Webcasters are people or organizations that broadcast audio or video content over the internet.
The term parallels broadcaster but specifies online distribution rather than traditional radio or television transmission: Independent webcasters struggled with new royalty rates.
The role has expanded with streaming platforms, though the term itself has become less common as streaming normalized.
