Ok, first off, there seems to be a tendency to interpret the noun and adjec= tive
more often as relating to television than the verb/adverb and order differs= throughout
your links. More importantly, _EVERY_ page you lists also points out that t= here is another
usage of the word meaning "make publicly known/spread out".
Do we have a different word for this concept (which in my opinion is more g= eneral
and completely includes television/radio)?

I don't= know. Possibly jungau, or similar. What I do know is, we have three words = for communication using electromagnetic transmission:

benji (general= transmission, which would include phone lines, Wi-Fi, Cellular networks, t= he internet, etc. (because of its x5))
cradi (radio transmission, i.e. audio only transmission via electromagnetic= modulation)
tivni (television transmission, i.e. video and audio transm= ission via electromagnetic modulation)
=A0

And no, {benji} does not solve this, because you can broadcast something by= making it available to others without transmitting it yourself.

If you mean you can give something to someone else to transm= it for you, such as advertisers do, that's bejygau. If you mean any of = the other definitions of broadcast, that's a /different word entirely/.=
=A0
If not, it doesn't make sense to restrict {tivni} ba'e that much an= d I would even vote
for adjusting the definition from "to television receiver" to &qu= ot;receiver".
