Broadcasting refers to the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience through electronic mass communication mediums such as radio, television, or online streaming platforms. The term can apply to both traditional linear broadcasting, where content is sent out at specific times on specific channels, and modern on-demand models, where viewers and listeners can select content to consume at their convenience. Broadcasting serves a range of purposes, from entertainment and advertising to news dissemination and public service announcements. The field has seen substantial changes over the years, particularly with the rise of digital technologies and the internet, which have expanded the reach and accessibility of broadcasting and introduced interactive elements. Despite these advances, the basic aim of broadcasting remains the same: to share information, stories, or experiences with a wide and often geographically dispersed audience, often in real-time or near real-time.
