I've just noticed that the Channel 4 Political Awards are being broadcast as 16:9 Anamorphic with a 4:3 tag, so it appears squashed up on my 4:3 monitor.

This is on DTT from The Wrekin East.

EDIT: C4 realised their error and changed it to a 16:9 tag at 20:07
DOUBLE EDIT: Even more worryingly, C4 appear to be broadcasting the picture stretched vertically. When I watch on digital, during interviews people's heads are cut off at the top, but when I watch on analogue their heads are cleanly in-frame.

Fixed after 5 minutes.

I was at the recording last week.

EDIT: FINALLY, after the first ad-break it's being shown in the correct 16:9 tagged, anamorphic unstretched picture Rolling Eyes
