In anticipation of Thursday's State oth the Nation Address, the Parliamentary Service, the video broadcasting platform of the South African Parliament that is shown on DStv channel 408 and Youtube, has started broadcasting in widescreen.
This is part of the 'upgrades' to the Parliament's audio-visual equipment that the media were told about about a week ago.
The actual video quality is also better, as seen in Tuesday's pre-SONA press conference.
The widescreen broadcast now means that the three local news channels, eNCA, ANN7 and The SABC News Channel, all whom broadcast in widescreen, will now no longer have to usethe odd aspect ratios that they have used in the past, which included squashing the picture, using black bars on the side of the screen and cropping the feed.
This now also means that CNBC Africa is the only local news channel not to broadcast in widescreen.
