Multiplexing

In telecommunications terminology, this term means carrying multiple signals on a communications carrier channel. In recent cable programming terminology, it refers to "cloning" one cable channel, like MTV or HBO, into multiple,
complementary channels to reach a broader audience. The device that makes this possible is called a "multiplexer" or "mux".
