Italian word

trasmissione

broadcast; transmission; a TV or radio programme

Looks like

transmission

the act of sending; a broadcast; (in cars) the gearbox

⚠️ The trap

'Trasmissione' covers both the act of transmitting and the broadcast itself (a specific show). In English 'transmission' rarely refers to a specific programme — you would say 'show', 'broadcast', or 'programme'. The car sense also applies in Italian.

To say "the act of sending; a broadcast; (in cars) the gearbox" in Italian:

trasmissione (correct in media context)

"trasmissione" in English means:

broadcast; transmission; a TV or radio programme

Example

"La trasmissione inizia alle nove di sera."

"The programme starts at nine in the evening."
