Television program transmitting methods and systems transmit multiple program channels when at least some of the multiple program channels have different content, and transmit a single program channel in place of the multiple program channels when the multiple program channels have common content. Additional content may be transmitted on at least one of the program channels that have freed up when the multiple program channels have common content.
