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.


Thank you. Very Happy

A PROGRAMME BROADCAST ACROSS TWO DIFFERENT MEDIUMS OR CHANNELS BE IT TV OR RADIO.

Not too much of a surprise, bit of a shame though. Must annoy those working on it. What is your source?


Regarding simulcast, it once meant broadcast over more than one medium when it was a rare thing; now it is generally accepted to mean something broadcast on more than one channel. The election, for instance, is simulcast. And it doesn't really matter anyway!

No mention of why though!

A very stretched titles and fast talking Darren to fit the headlines into the headclaps. There was a stray clap at the end! Network continuity (at least in the South East anyway)

I'm sure the 1 o'clock sting started of with "24" in it but had "1" on in it for the final part of the sting.

At 1pm

"in 30 minutes, the news from your region"

there is a joint BBC ONE/NEWS 24 bulletin.

The graphics were stretched. Did no-one remembered to put the widescreen titles on the Westminster setup?

There was no countdown on N24 - just a still caption of the 1 O'clock logo with something along the lines of, "The One O'Clock news follows on News 24" written at the bottom. The countdown music was played over this.
