In Reply to: Hopefully, 4:3 broadcasts will disappear to be replaced with 16:9. posted by oscar on May 5, 2008 at 06:00:21:
Switching to widescreen production means buying all-new equipment. Smaller producers may not be ready for that. Note that most commercials are still in 4:3, even the ones shown on "HD" channels.

Sure you can. The bulk of new televisions under 20" diagonal are 4:3.
