A while back if a newsreader over here was talking about a number of the same things or happenings they would say words like 'many', 'numerous', and so on, then one said 'multiple' - and from then on they all use this word instead. As you say, Less, nothing wrong with the word in itself but in my opinion it is definitely over-used and in fact I've heard it used multiple times.
