TV programme with fat actors? (9)

I believe the answer is:

broadcast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv programme' is the definition.
'broadcast' can be an answer for 'programme' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'tv' bit.

'fat actors?' is the wordplay.
'fat' becomes 'broad' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'actors?' becomes 'cast' (group of actors).
'broad'+'cast'='BROADCAST'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broadcast that I've seen before include "Transmit over airwaves" , "Transmission" , "Put on the air" , "Transmit (programme)" , "Transmit by radio or television" .)
