I saw a news clip of Kelly Holmes on the GMTV sofa earlier - I literally thought it was BBC Look East or something for a second

The weather girl seemed to be almost entirely outside the safe area at one point. Viewers in 4:3 would have just seen a couple of flapping arms!
Also, glad to see I'm not the only one who thought it looked like a BBC News set. Look North NE&C springs to mind especially with the size of the studio and the window divided into 'panes'.

However the wide shots are not always 4:3 safe. Anything to the left of the clock is likely to be cropped in 4:3 - including at one stage a guest who was talking.

It varied from region to region. I had a flick through a few on Sky. London was arc'd to 14:9 as were Anglia and Scottish IIRC. Granada, Yorkshire, Tyne Tees and Central were 4:3. Not sure about the others.
The arc switch I saw was also very messy with no fade to black.

Did they switch to 4:3 for the regional news - or was it cropped / squashed / centered?

...or Channel 4 News. They've been doing that stuff for years.

Nice to see moving wide shots - someone has been watching Liquid News and BBC Three News...

The London opts were all 16:9. I was watching on digital cable - perhaps the analogue terrestrial signal was different? I didn't catch analogue off-air, but I'm assuming it was in 14:9, in which case the programme should be shot and protected to 14:9 rather than 4:3, shouldn't it? That would allow a tad more space each side, but not much.

I love the new look. I dodnt see too much of it, cos i was asleep but i taped the start. I found it was very cluttered and too old style studio before. The Desk and sofa was really bad then but a small desk and interesting sofa and a totaly new look behind them, plus lots of wood on the wall. I really like it. Any one have any downloads??

Anamorphic 16:9 is widescreen. 4:3 is the original 'square' ratio, and 14:9 (usually letterboxed into 4:3) is a kind of halfway house.

Border News wasn't in widescreen on the GMTV opts ( is that 4:3 ?)
