Iv'e recently noticed that the news on bbc scotland is now broadcast in full widescreen and without the small black bars at the side of all their news programmes.
(it wasent their cameras as the titles for reporting scotland were always chopped off at the sides - look at the grabs in the bbc news section!)

so what happened here then?

All the nations converted to widescreen on what i call breakfast day.

I guess not all the cameras were ready so they all are now

as I said it couldent of been the cameras as the actual Titles for their news were always chopped off with black bars - i just think they didnt broadcast 16:9 properly as any program to do with bbc scotland news was always the same.
