retransmitir

Spanish

Etymology

Verb

retransmitir (first-person singular present retransmito, first-person singular preterite retransmití, past participle retransmitido)

(transitive, Spain) to broadcast (broadcast a radio or television programme (especially sports games) intended to be received by anyone with a receiver)

  La acción está siendo retransmitida en directo en el propio blog de la organización.

Usage notes

retransmitir tends to be used for sporting games. For radio or television programmes and series, emitir is mainly used.
In radio or television broadcasts, retransmitir means only to broadcast, and not to rebroadcast, despite retransmitir being formed by the prefix re-. The translation for "to rebroadcast" is repetir, volver a emitir, reemitir or transmitir en diferido.
