Stop Showing Pan and Scan Movies on Network TV

  You really want to know what grinds my gears? It's when TV channels broadcast a movie in pan and scan. It's 2019 already. There's no reason why we can't be showing movies on cable TV in their original theatrical aspect ratio. Nobody really owns a CRT TV anymore. Well classic gamers might own one to play their old systems on. Seriously practically everyone owns a 16x9 HDTV anymore.
  So if everyone pretty much owns a 16x9 HDTV, why are cable networks still showing pan and scan versions of movies? This is really unnecessary to show pan and scan movies when everyone now owns an HDTV. My best guess is that they have these shitty pan and scan edited for TV movies sitting in their library. This is mind boggling to say the least.
  Maybe these cable networks are too cheap and lazy to reinvest in a whole new tape library for their broadcasting. That's my theory, they have all of these movies stockpiled up in their libraries, which date back to whenever pan and scan movies first came in to play. I find it ironic that 99.999% of cable networks broadcast in 16x9 1080P HDTV anymore. Very few stations still broadcast in a 4:3 picture format. The networks who don't broadcast in HDTV can't afford to upgrade their picture format.
  Another reason I think they still show pan and scan versions of movies on network TV, is that they don't want to show any of the black bars that may be seen in a widescreen movie. They probably think people don't want to see black bars on their TV screen. Here's a news flash for the cable networks, people don't give a red hot minute about black bars on their TV screens anymore. This isn't 2001 when most people still had analog CRT TV's and they began to transition from VHS to DVD. Back then DVD first came out, most DVD's were introduced in widescreen. Some were anamorphic and some were in non anamorphic widescreen. Heck there were even widescreen editions of VHS tapes as well as Laserdisc. They were a niche market item in the 90s. The widescreen Laserdisc and VHS copies of movies were also non anamorphic. So when DVD's first came on the market, most of them were widescreen. So some people who first started buying DVDs when they first came out, didn't like the black bars on their screen. These people probably weren't serious movie buffs who cared about technical specifications. Actually the black bars mean there isn't anything there to display, you are still getting the whole picture between the black bars.
  Anyway, TV stations have been showing pan and scan versions of movies for decades now. It's become a bad habit of showing pan and scan movies. Heck there are some TV channels that do show movies in their original theatrical aspect ratios, such as Turner Classic Movies or Fox Movie Network.
  Network TV stations need to stop showing pan and scan versions of movies. It's not the 90s anymore, we can take seeing black bars on our TV screens. Throw away your library of pan and scan ,movies and upgrade to their original aspect ratios. For the love of GOD please do this.
