Trimulcast
In broadcasting, a trimulcast is a cluster of three radio stations and/or translators that play the same feed. Normally this is done in order to have full coverage of a certain area. Some stations use this technique to provide rimshot coverage into a major market by broadcasting on the outskirts from three different locations, or combine multiple low power television stations in an attempt to provide the equivalent coverage of one full-power station.
Examples
- WGVX/WLUP/WWWM in Minneapolis, Minnesota making up a Soft AC station called Love 105 FM.
- KRXV, KHWY, and KHYZ cover the Mojave Desert from Barstow to Laughlin and Las Vegas, Nevada, with its target audience being listeners travelling into Nevada on Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 from Southern California.
- KBPI/KBPL/K300CP on 107.9 frequency cover the Colorado Interstate 25 corridor.[1]
