/ˈsætəlaɪt steɪʃn//ˈsætəlaɪt steɪʃn/

The term "satellite station" refers to a radio or television broadcasting facility that operates as a secondary transmitter for a larger, main broadcasting center. These stations receive signals from the primary station, which is often located at a greater distance, and rebroadcast them to a specific geographic area, typically covering a smaller, local region. The name "satellite station" originated in the 1960s as a metaphorical reference to the way geostationary communication satellites relay signals between different parts of the world. The term's popularity increased with the widespread implementation of satellite communication technology, which allowed for more efficient and cost-effective distribution of broadcast signals across long distances. Ultimately, the term "satellite station" has come to encompass any local transmission station that receives and redistributes signals from a primary source.
