eNCA, eNews Prime Time and eNuus on kykNET switching to 16:9 standard from Sunday morning.

The eNCA (DStv 403) South African news channel, as well as its eNews Prime Time bulletins and the Afrikaans eNuus its provides to kykNET (DStv 144) will be switching from the 4:3 to 16:9 standard from Sunday morning.

eNCA as well as the other news programming from e.tv will switch on Sunday morning 06:00 on 27 October.

"No adjustment to the TV set is required by viewers,"says eNCA, "but they should experience an improvement in the picture quality of eNCA. Should viewers experience any issues, they should check the ARC settings on their set or their DStv decoders."

"The change is purely technical and obviously doesn't affect the editorial excellence of eNCA."
