⚠️ 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."
