retransmitir

Spanish

Etymology

From re- +‎ transmitir.

Verb

retransmitir (first-person singular present retransmito, first-person singular preterite retransmití, past participle retransmitido)

1. (transitive, Spain) to broadcast (broadcast a radio or television programme (especially sports games) intended to be received by anyone with a receiver)
   • 2 November 2009, ABC.es, Greenpeace se sube a la Sagrada Familia por el cambio climático^[1]:

     La acción está siendo retransmitida en directo en el propio blog de la organización.

     The action is being broadcast live on the blog of the organization.

2. (transitive) to retransmit, to rebroadcast

Usage notes

• retransmitir tends to be used for sporting games. For radio or television programmes and series, emitir is mainly used.
• In radio or television broadcasts, retransmitir means only to broadcast, and not to rebroadcast, despite retransmitir being formed by the prefix re-. The translation for "to rebroadcast" is repetir, volver a emitir, reemitir or transmitir en diferido.
