The SABC's flagship daily news bulletin, the English language
News @ 7 on SABC3 weekdays at 19:00, has just quietly changed to a 16:9 or so-called letterbox broadcast.
The SABC's news bulletin on SABC2,
Nuus om 7 also changed to 16:9.
Of course no word from the SABC or SABC News about the aspect ratio change - or why. The bulletin broadcasts are now artificially squashed from the top and bottom to force it into a 16:9 format.
