Morphology

broadcast + scheduling

The compound 'broadcast scheduling' is directly compositional: 'broadcast' (programs sent to audiences) combined with 'scheduling' (organizing events at designated times) yields the planning/arrangement of broadcast programs. This follows a common noun+noun construction found across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Broadcast scheduling comes from the simple image of a station sending out shows as a broadcast while someone puts each show into a time slot on a schedule as the scheduling. So, it means 'planning when shows go on air'.
