275-489: A consortium of networks in order to ensure a wide audience. In sports, such as American football and baseball, simulcasts are when a single announcer broadcasts play-by-play coverage both over television and radio. The practice was common in the early years of television, but since the 1980s, most teams have used a separate team for television and for radio. In the National Hockey League , two teams currently use

330-403: A free-to-air channel in the spring, joining stablemates Dave, Yesterday and Drama as a Freeview service. In March 2022, this was confirmed by UKTV, who rebranded the channel's mantra to "Life Unfiltered" and introduced a new logo which included the letter W in a slanted rectangle. The logo will be mainly seen on air and in corporate branding with an orange background, with channel idents showing

385-715: A live Boz Scaggs performance which had the audio simultaneously broadcast on two FM radio stations to create a quadrophonic sound, the first of its kind. The first such transmission in the United Kingdom was on 14 November 1972, when the BBC broadcast a live classical concert from the Royal Albert Hall on both BBC2 and Radio 3. The first pop/rock simulcast was almost two years later, a recording of Van Morrison 's London Rainbow Concert simultaneously on BBC2 TV and Radio 2 (see It's Too Late to Stop Now ) on 27 May 1974. Similarly, in

440-605: A liveaction video of the eyeball being pushed around by a large and varied group of people around various settings until the eyeball ends up in the centre of the screen and the Watch name appears at the bottom of the screen. The set of four idents were produced by Red Bee Media for the channel. However, in April 2009, the four existing idents were edited by Aardman Animations to make the inflatable eyeball blink, along with new soundtracks. In addition, four new CGI idents were introduced as well as

550-413: A press agent at WCAU-TV, Philadelphia. NBC and CBS had begun broadcasting a few programs both to their established nationwide radio audience and to the much smaller—though steadily-growing—television audience.

660-508: A shift in programming to target women. To make way for the addition of W, Dave ja vu (the timeshift service of Dave) moved to the position previously occupied by Drama +1 , which had been added to the Freeview lineup following UKTV's purchase and closure of CCXTV . In November 2023, UKTV was announced that it would be rebranding their TV channels and streaming service under the new "U" masterbrand. In early July 2024, UKTV started to roll out

715-417: A similar logo to its "U" masterbrand. The logo can be found on the corporate website and on "U" (UKTV Play) On 16 July 2024, W rebranded as U&W. The channel also operates a timeshift service , U&W +1, where the programme schedule is repeated by the channel one hour later.

825-479: A stereo standard which allowed secondary audio tracks through the television spectrum. The first cable TV concert simulcast was Frank Zappa 's Halloween show (31 October 1981), live from NYC's Palladium and shown on MTV with the audio-only portion simulcast over FM's new "Starfleet Radio" network. Engineered by Mark G. Pinske with the UMRK mobile recording truck. A later, notable application for simulcasting in this context

Simulcast Before launching stereo radio, experiments were conducted by transmitting left and right channels on different radio channels. The earliest record found was a broadcast by the BBC in 1926 of a Halle Orchestra concert from Manchester, using

935-464: Is the common problem of over-compression (quantity over quality) resulting in fuzzy pictures and pixelation . Multiplexing —also sometimes called "multicasting"—is something of a reversal of this situation, where multiple program streams are combined into a single broadcast. The two terms are sometimes confused. In universities with multiple campuses, simulcasting may be used for a single teacher to teach class to students in two or more locations at

990-980: The United States and Global (1989 to 2018) and Citytv (2018 to 2021) in Canada and entertainment show Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway , airing Saturday nights at various times between 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm on ITV in the United Kingdom and Virgin Media One in the Republic of Ireland .

The music used in the background of the television advertisements is "You Will Leave a Mark" by Oxford band A Silent Film. The channels original idents featured

1100-477: The talk radio , sports radio , or all-news radio format of an AM station is simulcast on FM, mainly for the convenience of listeners in office buildings in urban cores which easily block AM signals, as well as those with FM-only tuners. In another case, popular programs will be aired simultaneously on different services in adjacent countries, such as animated sitcom The Simpsons , airing Sunday evenings at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific times) on both Fox in

1155-491: The 1980s, before Multichannel Television Sound or home theater was commonplace in American households, broadcasters would air a high fidelity version of a television program's audio portion over FM stereo simultaneous with the television broadcast. PBS stations were the most likely to use this technique, especially when airing a live concert. It was also a way of allowing MTV and similar music channels to run stereo sound through

1210-424: The 1980s. It could, however, be argued that these Toscanini presentations—with admission controlled by NBC, as with all its programming—were no more "public concerts" than NBC's "Voice of Firestone" broadcasts beginning in 1949, or its "Band of America" programs, which were simulcast starting 17 October 1949. Likewise Toscanini's simulcast NBC presentation of two acts of Verdi's "Aida" on 3 April 1949. Presently, in

1265-451: The Force , part of the line-up. UKTV confirmed the rumours that the W channel was going to rebrand as a free-to-air channel on 28 March 2022 at 6:10am. To coincide with the move, channel bosses unveiled a new logo and "Life Unfiltered" strapline which they say will help the channel connect with its female skewing 25-44 target audience. The 2022 idents were kept in the rebranding to U&W, with

1320-568: The UK is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . W (British TV channel) U&W is a British free-to-air television channel owned by UKTV , a subsidiary of BBC Studios . It originally launched on 7 October 2008 as Watch and until 2022 was a pay television channel. From 15 February 2016 to 16 July 2024, the channel was known as W. Watch launched on 7 October 2008, taking over capacity on Sky previously used for UKTV Style +2, which had closed on 15 September 2008 in preparation for

1375-601: The US version of Strictly Come Dancing , and the various American editions of Wipeout , which is titled as Total Wipeout USA to avert confusion with the British programme of the same name ). The channel also featured programmes displaced following the repositioning of other UKTV channels (such as the move of all non-crime drama to the channel following Alibi 's launch), and programming already shown on other UKTV channels in greater numbers (such as Traffic Cops ). The channel controller

1430-510: The United States, simulcast most often refers to the practice of offering the same programming on an FM and AM station owned by the same entity, in order to cut costs. With the advent of solid state AM transmitters and computers, it has become very easy for AM stations to broadcast a different format without additional cost; therefore, simulcast between FM/AM combinations are rarely heard today outside of rural areas, and in urban areas, where often

1485-458: The VCR's audio line-in connectors. This was to allow one to connect a stereo FM tuner that is tuned to the simulcast frequency to the VCR's audio input in order to record the stereo sound of a TV program that would otherwise be recorded in mono. The function was primarily necessary with stereo VCRs that didn't have a stereo TV tuner or were operated in areas where stereo TV broadcasting wasn't in place. This

1540-500: The WWF's Raw on USA Network (from Cleveland)—on March 26, 2001, featured WWF owner Vince McMahon addressing the sale, only for his son Shane McMahon to reveal in-universe that he had bought WCW instead, setting up an "Invasion" storyline to begin integrating WCW talent and championships into WWF. It is not uncommon for broadcasters to simulcast a particular program (such as a marquee event or special) across all of their networks as

1595-407: The burden of having to air encores of sporting events or other paid sports programming which may draw lower audiences. In New Zealand , breakfast programme The AM Show airs on television channel Three and was simulcast on radio station Magic Talk ; both networks were owned and operated by MediaWorks New Zealand until December 2020, when Three was sold to Discovery, Inc. In 2022, the programme

1650-648: The cable-TV network. This method required a stereo FM transmitter modulating MTV's stereo soundtrack through the cable-TV network, and customers connecting their FM receiver's antenna input to the cable-TV outlet. They would then tune the FM receiver to the specified frequency that would be published in documentation supplied by the cable-TV provider. With the introduction of commercial FM stations in Australia in July 1980, commercial TV channels began simulcasting some music based programs with

1705-491: The channel, however, a spokeswoman for UKTV denied suggestions that the broadcaster would change the name of the channel and said that the overhaul was about "tweaking the brand and aligning it better with our overall strategy". The 2010 idents have their full tagline "(x) together, (y) together, (z) together, Watch together (e.g.: Sing together, play together, Get it together, Watch together)". The new Watch logo and channel presentation launched on 23 September 2010, focusing on

1760-482: The digital subchannel instead of the analog. This allows for smaller, cheaper cable boxes by eliminating the analog tuner and some analog circuitry. On DVRs , it eliminates the need for an MPEG encoder to convert the analog signal to digital for recording. The primary advantage is the elimination of interference, and as analog channels are dropped, the ability to put 10 or more SDTV (or two HDTV , or various other combinations) channels in its place. The primary drawback

1815-527: The edited idents and in May 2010, a new ident for Scream if You Know the Answer! During May 2010, UKTV were reportedly planning to overhaul the brand identity of Watch, after only eighteen months in operation.

1925-399: The idea that "TV is better shared!". The new identity, created by agency Harriman Steel, includes a new strapline, "Watch... together", along with new idents, end frames and a new logo. The idents feature a scene against a black background with various elements of the scene being provided, by people in black outfits. The scenes progress with the appearance of the film being seen in reverse until

1980-443: The ident pans to a screen displaying three phrases related to the scene ending with the word "together." before the Watch logo is placed over the last phrase forming the channel tagline. Other promotional material makes use of the channel tagline or the appearance that the channel promotions are held in place by the black dressed men, as seen by the various covered hands shown at the edge of promotion end boards. On 23 January 2012, it

2035-494: The launch. The channel would feature general entertainment programmes, primarily from the programme archive of the BBC , who owned a 50% share of the network through the corporation's commercial arm BBC Worldwide .

These were initially rock based programs, such as late night music video shows and rock concerts, but later included some major rock musicals such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Blues Brothers when they first aired on TV. During the mid-1980s the final Australian concert of several major rock artists such as Dire Straits were simulcast live on

2200-470: The radio "Voice of Firestone" broadcasts. Actual TV-AM radio simulcasts of the very same "Voice of Firestone" program began only on 5 September 1949. A documented candidate for first true simulcast may well be NBC's "We the People." Toscanini's NBC Symphony performance of 15 March 1952 is perhaps a first instance of radio/TV simulcasting of a concert, predating the much-heralded rock concert simulcasts beginning in

2255-638: The same day as the main Watch channel on 7 October 2008 and was reported by AGB Nielsen Media Research on 2 September 2008. On 29 July 2011, UKTV announced that it had secured a deal with Sky to launch three more high-definition channels on their platform. As part of Virgin Media's deal to sell its share of UKTV, all five of UKTV's HD channels would also be added to Virgin's cable television service by 2012. Watch HD launched on 12 October 2011 on Sky and Virgin Media, two days after Dave HD , while Alibi HD launched in July 2012. All three channels are HD simulcasts of

2310-631: The same market and broadcaster. MASN and MASN2 simulcast a single feed of the games with a commentary team featuring personalities from both teams, featuring Jim Hunter and Bob Carpenter alternating play-by-play duties, and the teams' color commentators . This arrangement ended in 2014, with both channels now originating their own Orioles- and Nationals-specific telecasts as normal. A more recent trend by sports broadcasts have been alternate feeds offering different viewing options, including specialty camera angles, alternative commentary, or enhanced in-game statistics and analysis. In 2021, ESPN introduced

2365-406: The same time, using videoconferencing equipment. In many public safety agencies, simulcast refers to the broadcasting of the same transmission on the same frequency from multiple towers either simultaneously, or offset by a fixed number of microseconds. This allows for a larger coverage area without the need for a large number of channels, resulting in increased spectral efficiency . This comes at

2420-592: The simulcast often involves the transmission of wagering information to a central site, so that all bettors may bet in the same betting pool , as well as the broadcast of the race, or bet from home as they watch on a network such as TVG Network or the Racetrack Television Network . The regional sports network MASN previously used simulcasts for MLB games played between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals —regional rivals who share

2475-549: The wavelengths of the regional stations and Daventry. In its earliest days, the BBC often transmitted the same programme on the "National Service" and the "Regional Network". An early use of the word "simulcast" is from 1925. Between 1990 and 1994, the BBC broadcast a channel of entertainment (Radio 5) which offered a wide range of simulcasts, taking programmes from the BBC World Service and Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 for simultaneous broadcast. Before stereo TV sound transmission

These two streams were combined at the Satellaview to provide a unified audiotrack analogous to stereo. The term "simulcast" (describing simultaneous radio/television broadcast) was coined in 1948 by

2750-536: Was possible, simulcasting on TV and radio was a method of effectively transmitting "stereo" sound to music TV broadcasts. Typically, an FM frequency in the broadcast area for viewers to tune their stereo systems to would be displayed on the screen. The band Grateful Dead and their concert "Great Canadian Train Ride" in 1970 was the first TV broadcast of a live concert with FM simulcast. In the 1970s WPXI in Pittsburgh broadcast

2805-403: Was rebranded as AM and ceased simulcasting on Magic Talk, becoming a TV-only format.

Multiple sports talk radio shows, including Mike & Mike , The Herd with Colin Cowherd and Boomer and Carton also are carried on television, saving those networks

2915-440: Was stated to be a COVID-19 -related measure. Media outlets disputed the decision and felt it was actually a cost-cutting move by Blue Jays and Sportsnet owner Rogers Communications , as the team had maintained dedicated radio broadcasts in 2020 with a remote crew. As all NFL television broadcasts are done by the national networks or via cable, there are no regular TV-to-radio football simulcasts. In order to ensure that all of

Most destinations where this concert was broadcast had the concert simulcast by at least one TV network and at least one of the local FM stations. Most stereo-capable video recorders made through the 1980s and early 1990s had a "simulcast" recording mode where they recorded video signals from the built-in TV tuner and audio signals from

3025-454: Was typically selected through the user setting the input selector to "Simulcast" or "Radio" mode or, in the case of some JVC units, the user setting another "audio input" switch from "TV" or "Tuner" to "Line". In the mid to late 1990s, video game developer Nintendo utilized simulcasting to provide enhanced orchestral scoring and voice-acting for the first ever "integrated radio-games" – its Satellaview video games. Whereas digital game data
