Terrestrial broadcasting
Terrestrial broadcasting is the method of transmitting television and radio signals directly from a station's transmitter tower to your receiver's antenna. It uses radio waves spread through the air over specific frequencies, allowing devices like TV antennas or radios to pick up content without needing internet or satellite connections. This traditional method covers local and regional areas, providing free or common access to broadcast channels. It’s a reliable, direct way to deliver live broadcasts, news, and entertainment, relying on infrastructure that has been in use for decades and still forms the backbone of many broadcast systems worldwide.
