... which is only the third definition of "broadcast (verb trans.)"

It's the first definition on Collins English Dictionary, Vocabulary.com, MacMillan Dictionary,  Wiktionary, Dictionary.com, and pretty much any other dictionary you'd care to look up, and it's the SECOND in Merriam-Webster, not the third.
 
on Merriam Webster, where the first two are

1: to scatter or sow (as seed) over a broad area
2: to make widely known

Which doesn't matter, since Lojban words can only have one meaning, and it is obvious that the sense of broadcast which is tivni is radio transmission one.
 
This is compatible with video streaming sites in my opinion.

Sure, {tivni} always implies some {benji}.
