Word origin

The term 'telecast' is a blend of 'television' and 'broadcast,' first emerging in the early 1950s as television became more mainstream in American households. The roots of the word 'television' derive from the Greek prefix 'tele,' meaning 'distant,' and the Latin 'visio,' meaning 'sight.' The word 'broadcast' originally referred to the scattering of seeds over a large area and later evolved to denote the distribution of media. As the technology for transmitting television signals developed, telecasting began to signify the distribution of television programs to home viewers. By the end of the 20th century, telecasting had expanded with the rise of cable and satellite TV, leading to a more diverse range of channels and programming available to audiences worldwide.
