Lately they've used split-screen to show simultaneous actions by different people. It works rather well, because while the videos show different actions, they both fit into the same coordinated plan.

Also, 24 used split screens (4 sections) quite frequently.

For a few seconds at a time, during transitions between scenes or in the lead up to advert breaks. Synchronicity of relevant actions is minimum - ie a car driving, while someone sits in a room. the other two may be 2 sides of the same phone call.

There's not really ever 2 concurrent plots happening simultaneously.
