Also, Arena is scheduled for WS from June 1, and TV1 and HALLMARK for shortly after.

I just hope they dont do "trick" 16:9 like fox news.
I was in the US a few weeks ago, and it goes to air in the US on cable TV as a 4:3 channel in letterbox 16:9. What fox has done here is take the 4:3 letterbox and zoom it up to fill out the 16:9 version fuxtel plays out. not sure why Fuxtel couldnt get a true 16:9 feed from them... probbly coz it costs too much to bother setting up an exclusive feed, so they just went with what they feed to the world and zoomed that puppy to fill a 16:9 output.
