We produce everything in 16:9 HD, but I center cut it to send 4:3. We produce all the content and make sure all titles are 4:3 safe. If I were to letterbox into a 4:3 frame, it would actually be lower than SD, since it is using less pixels. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 18, 2016 11:48:14 AM CST, Al Esch <colonelguf@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

GetTV is stretched 16:9 on 41.2 from Battle Creek, MI. Even the ads
are stretched. 41.3 is GritTV, not stretched. Widescreen movies on
41.3 are both letterboxed and pillarboxed.<br />
