disiarkan

Disiarkan is an Indonesian verb form used to express that something has been or will be broadcast. It is the passive form of the verb menyiarkan (to broadcast) or siarkan (to air), formed with the prefix di- to indicate passive voice. In typical usage, the focus is on the broadcast itself rather than on who transmitted it, though the agent can be indicated with oleh followed by the broadcaster.

In practical terms, disiarkan is common in media and journalism. It describes radio or television programs, news items, or online streams that have been transmitted to an audience. The construction allows speakers to emphasize the dissemination of information or content rather than the act of broadcasting by a specific entity.

Common phrases include disiarkan langsung (aired live) and disiarkan ulang or disiarkan kembali (rebroadcast). These forms cover live transmissions and re-broadcasts across various media, including national and local outlets as well as online platforms. Disiarkan can also appear in reports and documentation to indicate that certain information has been transmitted to the public.

Notes on grammar and usage: disiarkan is a neutral, descriptive form suitable for reporting, encyclopedic writing, and formal contexts. It is distinct from active forms such as menyiarkan, which describe the broadcaster performing the action. The agent of the broadcast may be omitted when the emphasis is the act itself, or specified with oleh to identify the broadcaster.
