operaciones de radio-televisión / de radiodifusión
Explanation:
'broadcasting', in an academic 'Comunicación' context most likely refers to radio and/or TV broadcasting, as distinct from telecoms transmission in general.
Although 'radiodifusión' is understood, within the media profession, as including both radio and TV broadcasting, it is often mis-understood by 'mere' listeners and viewers as meaning sound broadcasting only (radio or 'the wireless'). The least-worst option is therefore 'operaciones de radio-televisión'.

Prefiero usar "emisión" a optar por la alternativa "broadcasting", por más que esta resulte menos ambigua desde el punto de vista semántico.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Esa es la traducción literal, pero en español realmente no tiene sentido y se puede confundir con cualquier otra acepción de la polisémica "emisión".
