Good idea. Over here in Finland, the DVB-T broadcasters seem to avoid
aspect ratio changes within a program. A year ago, the children's program
"Pikku kakkonen" was broadcast in 4:3, and they added colourful bars on
top and bottom of 16:9 material. Now they're broadcasting at 16:9 and
cropping the top and bottom of 4:3 material (such as a Polish classic
animation from the 1980s, which I think infringes the moral copyright).
On commercial channels, movies are often broadcast at 16:9 and commercials
at 4:3. Every now and then, some older 16:9 material is broadcast
at 4:3. Maybe the material was shipped on analog tapes at 4:3 resolution?
