In at least one embodiment, radio broadcasting equipment is provided that enables targeted radio broadcast delivery in an radio broadcast area wherein a plurality of radio auxiliary or booster transmitters are used to transmit localized RDS data and/or auxiliary information to supplement broadcast area wide content transmitted and/or RDS data on the same frequency. These auxiliary or booster transmitters may be configured to transmit different localized auxiliary information to supplement a plurality of main transmitters. Moreover, these auxiliary or booster transmitters may be configured to transmit different localized RDS data and/or auxiliary information to supplement at least one main transmitter.
