Now hold on here! Xchange which is broadcast at 1pm (after Class TV) is framed with 4:3 in mind. The CBBC bug in the left squeezes there, the rotating aston getting children to be intouch fits neatly into the top right, the astons for callers , guests etc at the bottom are okay. So there must be still respect in CBBC for 4:3 viewers.

How do I know which educational broadcasts to tape 4:3 CCO and which 4:3 letterbox to avoid having curtains and ensure I'm not losing information?

I take it from what I'm being told, that the move to the new broadcast centre will not help in these issues?


No, the transmission equipment for CBBC Channel is the same in the new building as it was in TV Centre. This is not a technical problem, it's an editorial one. CBBC have decided that all programming on the channel is transmitted 16F16B. This would be ok if your box wasn't so bloody intelligent. Damn the box!!! Wink
