Well, I need to see your scripts to help you, so could you show them or upload your project?

So, I'm trying to make a Pong game but when it hits the red it doesn't broadcast it. Help

There are several sources to the cause of the problem. First of all, did you put a forever block, like this?

forever//makes the sprite do something over and over again 
show// This is in a forever block. It means that it will show, continuously without end.

If a sprite is told to forever show, but receives a message telling it to hide, it will not hide, because it is told to forever show, so it will continuously show.
Because of this, you should use this block:

repeat until<>//makes the sprite do something continuously UNTIL something happens

So, let's say that you wanted the ball to hide. This is what you could do:

repeat until <touching[red line]>//Makes the sprite check if it is touching the red line
move (5) steps//while the sprite is NOT touching the red line, do this
end
hide //if the sprite is touching the red line, it hides.

Another cause is that the broadcast messages are wrong. Let's say that the ball touched the red line. It broadcasted a message.

broadcast [game over! v]

But the stage and the other sprites were told to hide if they received this:

when I receive[game over v]

Note that the ball had a exclamation mark in the message. The others did not.
So, they did not receive the message.
The solution to this is to check if the broadcast and receive messages match.
I hope this helps!
