In much of the country, a television station has a single transmitter that broadcasts to its entire audience. But in mountainous or sparsely populated areas, a television station usually cannot cover its entire coverage area with just one signal. This is where translators come in. A translator is a miniature television transmitter that supplies a television station's signal to an area that the television station otherwise couldn't cover. In most cases, the translator will be on a different channel than that of the television station which it is carrying.
