Check out HDTV IS THE NEXT CONSUMER CHOICE:
Learning from widescreen
The current success of wide screen - in the UK at least – is due mostly to the efforts of the major terrestrial broadcasters – whose services together have an eyeball share of some 85% of all viewing time - and who are originating in excess of 80% of all prime time television as wide screen. Some services are fully wide screen and, since so-called C-Day in July 2000, all commercials distributed throughout the UK have also been originated in wide screen. As a consequence the analog services are, in fact, an aspect ratio reduced version of the original digital wide screen services. This success has prompted an EU Commission report to ask how such success could be replicated across the EU.

I've been hearing for 3 years that 'everything' will be widescreen in 6 months time - it just never quite seems to happen. I'd love to see some statistics on the percentage of material filmed in widescreen on each channel.
