Word origin

The term 'simulcast' is a portmanteau of 'simultaneous' and 'broadcast,' first coined in the early 1980s. Its significant rise in usage occurred with the advent of satellite communications, allowing broadcasters to transmit the same content at the same time across various platforms. Originally, simulcasting was primarily limited to radio and television; however, with the evolution of the internet and new media technologies, it has expanded to include online platforms, making it a versatile broadcasting method. The concept has become particularly important in our interconnected digital world, where audiences expect to access content in multiple formats simultaneously. As media consumption habits have changed, so has the use of simulcasts, making it a staple in the multimedia landscape.
