BroadcastBroadcast The term broadcast is often used in email to distribute messages to all users, instead of a specific group. Internet technology has made it possible for a website to transmit both original and redistributed broadcasts via audio and video streaming. Those who receiving the stream can tune in by using media player programs, such as iTunes or RealPlayer. Similar to those in the public light, web broadcasts are available to anyone and can usually be accessed for free.
It is very common for individuals to listen to a broadcast while surfing other sites on the web. The receivers can listen and watch live broadcasts, as well as those that have been prepackaged. The live shows are normally scheduled, while the prepackaged shows usually are available on demand. Web technology has also made it possible for broadcasts to be played back on audio and video tapes, as well portable multimedia players, such as an iPod. |
