Italian word

stazione

station (train, bus, police, radio)

Looks like

station

a stopping place for transport; a broadcasting organization

⚠️ The trap

True cognate, but in Italian 'stazione' does NOT mean a TV/radio station in the sense of a broadcaster. 'Stazione radio' can refer to a radio transmitter, but a TV channel is 'canale' and a radio station (broadcaster) is 'emittente'. 'Stazione' primarily means a transport stop.

To say "a stopping place for transport; a broadcasting organization" in Italian:

stazione (true cognate)

"stazione" in English means:

station (train, bus, police, radio)

Example

"La stazione ferroviaria è in centro."

"The train station is in the city centre."
