MCPC provides affordable, enhanced network control and store-and-forward capability for localized audio identifiers and spots. If you want to customize and simplify your network, then MCPC could be the solution.

MCPC, or "Multiple Channels Per Carrier" is a delivery technology that places multiple channels on a single satellite carrier.

How can this benefit you? For one, users who have MCPC networks can select the particular bandwidth they need. This can give you more flexibility with your programs and channels, and it expands the transmission capacity of your present satellite system.

Another primary advantage to using MCPC technology is that it's cost efficient. Stations and networks save money because, by using just one carrier, they don't need to pay for multiple receivers to get simultaneous broadcasting from numerous channels.

MCPC can further enhance your network through the use of "store-and-forward" technology. "Store-and-forward" technology saves audio, video, or data files at the centralized uplink until they are needed for use at a later time. The stored information is then automatically forwarded to the appropriate broadcasting location (or MCPC receiver).

MCPC with "store-and-forward" can air programming at the same time across different time zones. It can store new content while simultaneously broadcasting real-time programs. And, MCPC's "store-and-forward" capabilities can juxtapose local and national programming.
