FBN Changes?
From an emailer…
FBN is getting a graphics overhaul on Monday. The network is switching to 16×9 format.
I’m not quite sure what that means exactly…that they’re getting rid of the wing? That would be very surprising and for that reason I doubt that’s what it means. Maybe it means that they’ll be broadcasting 16×9 in SD like FNC, HLN, and CNN do…though I thought they already did that (but I can’t tell since I’m getting the HD feed).
Update: Another emailer writes that FBN is 4:3 in SD so I’m guessing come Monday it will go 16×9.
Update 2: Yet another emailer writes in that FBN is indeed dropping the wing. Wow. That leaves CNBC as the last business channel with a wing. Bloomberg dropped their wing long ago.

I’m surprised FBN would be dropping the wing (I’m assuming you’re talking about the data on the right hand side)….that’s usually full of useful data.
