That's great, but on standard defination or old 4:3 sets without the ability to change aspect ratio, 90% of all of Cozi's shows are stretched to 16:9 and have letterbox on the left and right side of the screen instead of top and bottom or even on all sides called postage stamped. I know about TV, worked in it for over 32 years in production, I have emailed COZI/NY several times as I receive it since launch from Time Warner Cable NY/NJ.....They never respond.......
Make Room For daddy at least airs full screen, but still stretched......there is no reason to show old shows in the wrong aspect ratio, they were not shot in 16:9 or HD.
And I understand that the standard old TV square is square, but I don't see the excitment of watching even a new game show or talk show in 16:9 and being able to feel like I'm in the audience as everything is further back, or seeing the camera men......why is this so popular?, TV shows are not movies, especially talk shows, game shows, etc. Compare it sometime, watch Jeopardy on standard and then HD....what do you gain on the sides?
Anyone that can shed light on the COZI situation? Or am I the only one....COZI is the only station of my over 1000 stations that looks like this, and I also have Antenna, MeTV, GetTV all perfect 24/7 direct feeds.
