How to use 播出

播出 is used for TV and radio programs, news, and ads being aired, often with 在 or a time phrase. Example: 这个节目每天晚上八点播出。(Zhège jiémù měitiān wǎnshang bā diǎn bōchū.) This program airs every night at eight.

播 (bō) has the hand radical 扌, like a hand scattering seeds, and 出 (chū) means to go out. A broadcast is a program scattered out to many viewers at once.

Common mistake: Learners often say 播 with a fourth tone like 播 (bò), but it is first tone, bō. Also do not confuse 播 with 番 (fān) or 翻 (fān), which share the right-side part.
