Editing Aired

'''Aired''' is a term commonly used in the context of [[broadcasting]] and [[television]] to refer to the transmission of a program or segment over the airwaves or through cable and satellite systems. The term can also be applied to [[radio]] broadcasts.

== Broadcasting ==
[[Broadcasting]] is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves). Broadcasting began with [[AM radio]] which came into popular use around 1920 with the spread of [[vacuum tube]] radio transmitters and receivers.

== Television ==
[[Television]] broadcasting involves the transmission of moving images and sound. The first television broadcasts were experimental, sporadic programs viewed only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1920s. Commercially, television broadcasting began in the 1930s and has since evolved to include [[cable television]], [[satellite television]], and [[digital television]].

== Radio ==
[[Radio]] broadcasting is the transmission of audio (sound), sometimes with related metadata, by radio waves to radio receivers owned by a public audience. Stations can be linked in radio networks to broadcast common radio programs, either in broadcast syndication or simulcast or both.

== Related Concepts ==
* [[Live broadcast]]: A broadcast that is transmitted in real-time, as events happen.
