Which was the first country and broadcaster to switch to producing and broadcasting the vast majority of programmes in widescreen 16:9 or 14:9?
To potentially answer my own question I believe it may be the UK in the early 90's with 14:9 on many programmes, but I know the BBC went 16:9 on a lot in 1998 with the launch of digital television. But obviously I know there are plenty of people here who know far more. |

Japan had an analogue 16:9/HD system in the 80's.
