HD channel showing stretched SD

Demodave

Demodave

This is a very informal poll. Here in Las Vegas, KTNV-TV (ABC) stretches all of their SD content on their HD channel. It looks HORRIBLE!! From AVS Forum, I know that many have complained...but nothing has changed. KTNV is the only channel in Las Vegas that chooses to stretch.

In other markets, how many (if any) of the over-the-air HD broadcasters stretch their SD content?

We used to, but we do "keyhole" (iow: 4:3 w/ black bars on the side) DT now.

WKYC/3 (NBC) is the only one left doing it in this market.

WEWS/5 (ABC) used to stretch, then did a quasi-14x9ish stretch that frustrated everyone trying to either squeeze down to 4x3 or stretch up on their own. They're back to non-stretched 4x3 lately.

WJW/8 (FOX) and WOIO/19 (CBS)-WUAB/43 (UPN) have never stretched, and neither has Univision O&O WQHS/61.

WBNX/55 (WB) is not on digitally due to coordination issues with a Canadian station.
