<p dir="ltr">You might want to try contacting the broadcast engineer at the station. The guy here seems to be following his management orders but the techs and social media reps I spoke to at the network say it should be 4:3 and are discussing with the station. Hopefully there's a contract clause. Spoke to a GM of a competing station and he said the ratio should be controlled by the net not the local station. </p>
