Broadcast is spelled B-R-O-A-D-C-A-S-T-S. Broadcast is a radio app.

It is available on the following platforms, iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, tvOS, MacOS, and Vision Pro. So it is available on everything.

It uses the radio browser directory as its source for the stations, which means you could add a station to the radio browser directory and then use Broadcast to find it.

Keep in mind it would take time for the radio browser directory to update or you can add a station manually and I'll show you how to do that here in a second.

Broadcast is free with a one-time purchase of ten dollars.
