Multitudes of other feeds either originated or were simulcast from that complex.
Teletext, the holder of the public service teletext licence, has been guaranteed sufficient digital capacity to simulcast its existing service.
When digital terrestrial services come into operation, simulcasts, that is, simultaneous identical transmissions of existing analogue public service broadcasters, will be at the core of such services.
There will be an end—and this is important—to the waste of scarce frequency brought about by simulcasting —that is, putting the same programme on two different frequencies.
It is therefore hard to argue that major public policy issues are involved in the extent to which they are simulcast.
The subtitling requirements on the existing terrestrial broadcasters will apply to their digital simulcasts, and will continue after analogue switch-off.
They therefore intend to apply the new code and targets to their digital simulcast qualifying services.
It had recently been established that this was a wasteful use of the frequency spectrum, and that simulcasting should be reduced to a minimum.
