Any caps. Looks like the Asian region won't move to widescreen till the 19th like what I have read.

David Eades (IIRC) is jumping the gun a bit today. In the last hour and this hour, he has skipped the headlines, causing quick thinking by the crew (including zooming the camera's out quite fast and re-adjusting shots)

What has been wrong with the coverage from the others? Do explain

Weirdly, Livestation is now both 16:9 and letterboxed - making it look like BBC World News has changed to Cinemascope!

The bottom ticker is cut off when viewing on livestation. Is it just me?

Nope.

It looks great, i can enjoy widescreen on my PC.
But my TV is 4:3 and I get this zoomed in image, can my cable provider do something about this????

That youtube clip is not widescreen for me.

It was until 7 seconds in. For the majority of the video, it's squashed.

shame its come 9 years too late, but at least they have finally pressed the button.

Here are some caps, the picture quality is so much better.
