simulcasting

Simultaneous media transmission

Simulcasting is broadcasting the same program simultaneously across multiple channels or platforms—radio and television together, or streaming alongside traditional broadcast.

The word blends "simultaneous" and "broadcasting." A simulcast is such a broadcast: The concert will be simulcast on PBS and NPR.

To simulcast is to transmit this way.
