Cheap ploy to get people to buy HD sets?  :-P

When Service Electric first added WCAU Nonstop, they frakked around with 
the aspect ratio, ultimately settling on a longitudinally-squashed view 
reminiscent of the beginnings/endings of pan-and-scan widescreen flicks 
back in the "golden age"...

Nobody shows a channel in widescreen unless the channel (A) specifically 
orders them to, and (B) ostensibly pays for the necessary equipment to 
generate the letterbox effect in SD when needed (only way you explain that 
they [finally] did it with Fox 5 NY and still won't do it with the 
ultracheap local PBS...)
