Other forms: broadcasters
A broadcaster is a person who presents programmes on air. A veteran broadcaster, the broadcaster said, a natural broadcaster.
It also names the organisation — the BBC is a broadcaster — and which is meant depends entirely on context. As a job it rewards the ability to sound like one person talking to one person, which is a specific skill. Note broadcast, from scattering seed by hand.
