"Broadcast" to me means stuff transmitted over-the-air, so everything on VHF or UHF is broadcast. I guess I could have used "network television" instead, but by your reasoning a satellite broadcast would be a network, too. Contrast with "cable channels," which still means something to the people at the ACE awards. At least, it's a source of self-deprecating jokes by Jon Stewart on one of the cable news shows.
