視し聴ちょう

noun, noun or participle which takes 'suru', transitive verb

watching; viewing; looking and listening

Used for watching and/or listening to audio-visual media such as television, videos, broadcasts, and streams. As 視聴する, it is more formal than simply 見る or 聞く and often takes the content as an object.

• 授じゅ業ぎょうの前まえに、指し定ていされた動どう画がを視し聴ちょうしてください。

  Please watch the assigned video before class.

• この番ばん組ぐみは海かい外がいからも視し聴ちょうできる。

  This program can also be viewed from overseas.

noun

public attention; interest

A formal written use meaning the attention or interest of the public. In everyday modern Japanese, 注目 or 関心 is usually more natural.

• その事じ件けんは世せ間けんの視し聴ちょうを集あつめた。

  The incident attracted public attention.

noun

signal reception

Technical physics-related use for reception of a signal. This is specialized and much less common than the media-viewing sense.

• 物ぶつ理りの専せん門もん文ぶん献けんでは、視し聴ちょうが信しん号ごうの受じゅ信しんを指さすことがある。

  In specialist physics literature, 視聴 can refer to the reception of a signal.
