Currently, I am broadcasting to a child scope (from one parent controller to a child controller). Within the $scope.$on function...
app.controller('myCtrl')
$scope.$on('broadcastName', function(e, d){
//When catching the broadcast, I need to access myCtrl's scope
//even though it comes from another controller
});
I need access to the current controllers' scope that receives the broadcast within my $scope.$on function, not the parent controller that sent the broadcast.
While writing this question, I realized the solution.
