Widescreen Television Picture is a format that allows television networks to broadcast television programs that offer a more natural, panorama view compared to the earlier formats.

Widescreen is sometimes known as “16:9”, this refers to the aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height) of a widescreen picture.

Most new Australian programs, especially sport events and overseas sourced programs, are now produced for widescreen formats.
