History


Convict's Bay was named after the use of the area as a prison. The British administration used obsolete warships as floating prisons, prison hulks in New York City during the American Revolution and applied them to use on the island. In 1799, a hulk was towed to Somerset Island, Bermuda and one more by 1824.

Simulcast

For the Canadian regulation, see Simultaneous substitution. For an online release of broadcast programme, see Digital distribution. Simulcast (a portmanteau of simultaneous broadcast) is the broadcasting of programs or events across more than one medium, or more than one service on the same medium, at exactly the same time (that is, simultaneously). For example, Absolute Radio is simulcast on both AM and on satellite radio. [1] [2] Likewise, the BBC's Prom concerts were formerly simulcast on both BBC Radio 3 and BBC Television. Another application is the transmission of the original-language soundtrack of movies or TV series over local or Internet radio, with the television broadcast having been dubbed into a local language.
