Repetè plen-pouvwa tankou transmetè idantik-jimo WPBS-televizyon an, WNPI-TV, yo nòmalman asiyen-siy rele-TV tankou lòt estasyon plen-pouvwa. "Estasyon satelit" sa yo pa gen nimero siy ki rele yo, epi yo dwe fonksyone menm jan ak lòt radyo plen pouvwa yo. Simcastcasting sa a jeneralman pa réglementées pa FCC a, eksepte lè yon mèt kay estasyon ap chèche yon egzanpsyon nan kondisyon tankou restriksyon sou jan mèt plizyè estasyon plen sèvis nan menm mache a, limit sou sipèpoze nan zòn pwoteksyon ant souvan posede estasyon, oswa kondisyon ki chak estasyon sèvis plen gen yon estidyo lokal ak yon anplwaye skelèt ki kapab soti pwogramasyon lokalman. Egzansyon sa yo nòmalman jistifye sou baz difikilte ekonomik yo, kote yon zòn riral ki pa ka sipòte yon estasyon ki gen sèvis konplè a ka anmezi pou soutni yon re-emisyon plen pouvwa. Gen kèk estasyon (tankou KVRR nan Fargo, North Dakota) yo se chenn nan anpil kat plen-transmeteur pouvwa, yo chak ak siy pwòp li yo rele ak lisans, ki kouvri yon gwo, rejyon fèblan-peple.

Full-power repeaters such as WPBS-TV's identical-twin transmitter, WNPI-TV, are normally assigned -TV call signs like other full-power stations. These "satellite stations" do not have numbered call signs, and must operate in the same manner as other full-power broadcasters. This simulcasting is generally not regulated by the FCC, except when a station owner seeks an exemption from requirements such as restrictions on owning several full-service stations in the same market, limits on overlap in coverage area between commonly-owned stations, or requirements that each full-service station have a local studio and a skeleton staff capable of originating programming locally. These exemptions are normally justified on the basis of economic hardship, where a rural location unable to support a full-service originating station may be able to sustain a full-power re-broadcaster. Some stations (such as KVRR in Fargo, North Dakota) are chains of as many as four full-power transmitters, each with its own call sign and license, covering a large, sparsely-populated region.
