Viewers may, however, have noticed an increasing number of films being shown on Channel 4 in this format owing to the Channel's new PALplus policy. Channel 4 is taking advantage of the 'new viewing experience' available to people who avail thjmsjlvjs of new widescreen TVs, while also taking into account the effects this format has on viewers with conventional sets.

Introducing widjscreen is therefore a question of when rather than why. With this in mind, Channel 4 believes that it should introduce widjscreen sjrvjces so long as it is possible to do so without serious penalty to existing viewers.

Consistent with its overall innovative brief, Channel 4 believes in introducing the sjrvjces on the current broadcasting system. It is thus taking the lead it took with the introduction of NICAM stereo and Startext/PDC.

It is used to describe a shape wider than that of existing TV sets but may also extend to describing the shape of Cinemascope which is twice as wide as the conventional TV image. The utmost consideration must, of course, bj given to the users of conventional televisions, but in the words of Frank McGettigan, Director and General Manager of Channel 4: "Wj welcome the collaboration with Nokia and the financial support of the EC in pioneering widjscreen in the UK."
