Definition

  • Narrowcasting refers to a customized version of broadcasting that targets information to a specific, narrowly defined group of recipients—or, at the extreme, to a specific individual—at a particular time and place. Since Internet-based media offer the ability to customize information delivery on an unprecedented scale, these media potentially facilitate the extension of narrowcasting to an increasing variety of informational services and products.
