-the ability to send more than one channel of programming within the allotted channel spectrum While analog channels have traditionally used a standard amount of spectrum (represented by each click on your tuner dial), digital channels can squeeze up to four channels into their spectrum (See also simulcast ) For example, KET currently multicasts programming on channel 46 in Lexington Viewers in that service area with digital sets simply tune to channel 46 and then choose among four different services: 46-1, 46-2, 46-3, or 46-4
