That's what I'd have thought, or at least have a set procedure where the regions pick up off the back of the sting and come back at a pre-determined time, while TC7 sustain for London (as LDN opts in Breakfast get on air via TC7's gallery)

"Radio Five Live switched to an emergency mini-disk interview between Simon Mayo and David Attenborough after a couple of minutes off air"

Doesn't "simulcast" mean broadcast on radio and TV at the same time, not on two TV channels?

Now they have done what they have done on BBC TWO to make working lunch in the Breakfast set, you can see how "fake" the Breakfast set is...

I thought it was a while since they've had a power cut. Agreed with what's been said though - a seemingly slight problem and everything gets thrown up in the air. Wouldn't be surprised if the relaunch is put back. It's the sort of thing that would do it.

Love the quote from Richard Sambrook "We will have to look carefully at what happened and at our procedures for coping with it - there will be lessons to learn."

Didn't Greg Dyke say almost those exact words two years ago!?

Simulcast means a programme is broadcast across two different mediums or channels, be it radio or tv.

So the answer to your question is "no" because the BBC ONE and BBC NEWS 24 are both TV channels, and therefore the same medium.

"Simulcast" is what the BBC used to do with BBC1 and (for example) Radio 3 FM before there was NICAM sound to provide stereo reception for live music (such as "Live Aid")

You seem to have misunderstood the answer to your question. A Simulcast is a broadcast across more than one TV channel, or, a radio station.

It's not. It means the transmission of the same event onto more than one medium.

The phrase for when the same programming goes out onto more than one TV service is a "joint service". If one channel the output of another on a regular basis it's "networking" and in an emergency it's a "feed".

The "-cast" ending on simulcast implies an event, not a schedule.
