In broadcast engineering, the airchain (sometimes air chain) is the path or route an audio or video signal takes on its way through a radio station or television station.

The airchain begins with microphones, CD players, turntables, telephone hybrids, video tape recorders, satellite and other remote feeds, and other input devices in the studio and control room .

This is often necessary because the best locations for an antenna are on top of a mountain, where a m via radio or broadband dedicated circuit (usually T1 or E1 line).

The airchain may be all- analogue, all- digital, or most likely some hybrid of the two.
