In copyright law, broadcast is generally referred to as transmission. From the US law, for example...
To 'transmit' a performance or display is to communicate it by any device or process whereby images or sounds are received beyond the place from which they are sent.
All sports broadcasts, (radio & televised) are copyright protected and cannot be redistributed without "the express written consent" of the teams involved.
In the US, the rules applying to secondary transmission of free-to-air broadcasts (that is, unencrypted broadcasts not requiring a subscription or other payment) vary based on who is doing the secondary transmission. A more complete answer is in 17USC111, linked below.
This is called a copyright assignment or transfer of copyright ownership.

People who have broken copyright law are called infringers.
Violation of copyright is called infringement. If the infringement is the distribution of unauthorized copies for commercial advantage or private financial gain, it may also be called "copyright piracy", which is a federal crime.
Current Australian copyright law is the Copyright Act 1968 as amended, particularly by the Copyright Amendment Act 2006. It is heavily influenced by British copyright law and aligns with the Berne convention. In general, it protects literary, musical, artistic, and dramatic works, as well as sound recordings, films, broadcasts, and published editions. Copyright owners (normally the creator of the work) have the exclusive rights to copy, publish, perform, and alter the work, and to "make it available" or "communicate it to the public."
