I was watching The DR OZ Show with my mom after school and I noticed that my local WNAC FOX11 station had the show in full screen 16:9 HD. months passed and DR OZ was switched to my local WJAR NBC10 and both WNAC and WJAR are both full HD stations ith acception for certain programming. DR OZ on WJAR was smaller meaning the screen resolution turned out to be 4:3 with those black bars on the size of the picture. Both stations showed the exact show with nothing changing. I don't understand why that one station shows it in full 16:9 HD and the other shows it in crappy 4:3. There exactly the same content and the same everything. What could be the reason it's not in 16:9 on one station but it is on another?

Probably the satellite feed they are pulling is not up to HD standard and it is up to the station to do the work to make it HD.

The station does show HD shows that are not made by NBC. Ellen is in HD and that's not made by NBC and a few others aren't. Its just weird that it's the same show but different resolutions on both stations.

It is usually the talks between the station and the studio.
