This list includes properties whose domainIncludes names BroadcastEvent or one of its ancestors. DomainIncludes is advisory; it is not an exhaustive set of permitted properties.

Property	Expected value types	Description
about	Thing	The subject matter of an object.
actor	PerformingGroup, Person	An actor (individual or a group), e.g. in TV, radio, movie, video games etc., or in an event. Actors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip.
additionalType	Text, URL	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org <a href="https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html">style guide</a>.
aggregateRating	AggregateRating	The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item.
alternateName	Text	An alias for the item.
attendee	Organization, Person	A person or organization attending the event.
attendees	Organization, Person	A person attending the event.
audience	Audience	An intended audience, i.e. a group for whom something was created.
broadcastOfEvent	Event	The event being broadcast such as a sporting event or awards ceremony.
composer	Organization, Person	The person or organization who wrote a composition, or who is the composer of a work performed at some event.
contributor	Organization, Person	A secondary contributor to the CreativeWork or Event.
description	Text, TextObject	A description of the item.
director	Person	A director of e.g. TV, radio, movie, video gaming etc. content, or of an event. Directors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip.
disambiguatingDescription	Text	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
doorTime	DateTime, Time	The time admission will commence.
duration	Duration, QuantitativeValue	The duration of the item (movie, audio recording, event, etc.) in [ISO 8601 duration format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601).
endDate	Date, DateTime	The end date and time of the item (in [ISO 8601 date format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)).
eventAttendanceMode	EventAttendanceModeEnumeration	The eventAttendanceMode of an event indicates whether it occurs online, offline, or a mix.
eventSchedule	Schedule	Associates an [[Event]] with a [[Schedule]]. There are circumstances where it is preferable to share a schedule for a series of repeating events rather than data on the individual events themselves. For example, a website or application might prefer to publish a schedule for a weekly gym class rather than provide data on every event. A schedule could be processed by applications to add forthcoming events to a calendar. An [[Event]] that is associated with a [[Schedule]] using this property should not have [[startDate]] or [[endDate]] properties. These are instead defined within the associated [[Schedule]], this avoids any ambiguity for clients using the data. The property might have repeated values to specify different schedules, e.g. for different months or seasons.
eventStatus	EventStatusType	An eventStatus of an event represents its status; particularly useful when an event is cancelled or rescheduled.
free	Boolean	A flag to signal that the item, event, or place is accessible for free.

identifier	PropertyValue, Text, URL	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.
image	ImageObject, URL	An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]].
inLanguage	Language, Text	The language of the content or performance or used in an action. Please use one of the language codes from the [IETF BCP 47 standard](http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47). See also [[availableLanguage]].
isAccessibleForFree	Boolean	A flag to signal that the item, event, or place is accessible for free.
isLiveBroadcast	Boolean	True if the broadcast is of a live event.

While this property is listed as expected on a number of common types, it can be used in others. In that case, using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer.
