Broadcast is a map from the Variety Map Pack in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The map is based on the TV station in "Charlie Don't Surf", with some differences to support multiplayer modes.

Overview

The map contains many long sightlines in the lobby, on the roof, and across the parking lot, but it also hosts close-range combat in the hallways around the central broadcasting room. The parking lot outside is filled with cars and a roof over the middle of it. A small building is located on the edge of the parking lot where snipers can pick off soldiers on the second floor of the TV station. A skylight is above where the bomb area B spawns.  A small room that looks over this central broadcasting room is useful to attack players trying to capture Flag B in Domination, but enemy players generally begin to toss grenades if one lingers too long. Airstrikes are often ineffective on this map, especially if the enemy team is spawning inside the large TV station.

Trivia

• Originally Broadcast was to be included from the start, as the load-screen and mini-map can be found in game files before installing 1.6 patch.
• The place shown on the load-screen is similar to the place on the final map, only the light was changed.
• It would seem that the original Broadcast resembled the TV station in "Charlie Don't Surf" much more than the current iteration of the map.
