Morphology

simulcast = simultaneous + broadcast (transparent) = simul + cast

A clear blend of 'simultaneous' and 'broadcast' whose meaning ('a broadcast occurring at the same time on multiple channels') is directly inferable from those bases.

Etymology

Simulcast comes from joining simul- meaning 'at the same time', like in simultaneous, and cast from broadcast meaning 'to send out', so a simulcast is a show sent on two or more channels at the same time.
