1. Radio broadcasting equipment comprising:
at least one processor running software to control synchronization of output of content of a signal transmitted by at least one main transmitter, an alternate main transmitter and at least one auxiliary transmitter as well as control synchronization of output of content of a signal transmitted by the at least one auxiliary transmitter with content of the signal transmitted by the at least one main transmitter, wherein the alternate main transmitter and the at least one auxiliary transmitter both transmit on the same radio frequency as the at least one main transmitter,
wherein the control synchronization delays the output of the content transmitted by the at least one auxiliary transmitter relative to the output of the content of the signal transmitted by the at least one main transmitter, and
wherein interaction between the signals transmitted by the at least one auxiliary transmitter and the alternate main transmitter reduces a size of an interference overlap resulting from main transmitter signal transmission and auxiliary transmitter signal transmission.
