Short answer
A simulcast is a live online stream of a broadcast radio station that carries the same programming as the over-the-air signal. Digital ads are often inserted over the on-air commercial breaks, allowing stations to sell targeted streaming inventory and measure online listeners separately from the broadcast audience.
