Spring Rubber 617 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure it happened with the new year or somewhere around there, but the stylized pillar boxes are gone. I know a lot of people like the pillar boxes, but I'm glad they're gone. Subtle pillar boxes employed by some networks can be fine, but I found WBBM's to be too bright and distracting; besides, it only calls attention to the fact that the program isn't 16:9/HD. I hope the pillar boxes are gone for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 130 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 What blue pillar bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 617 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Until very recently, they ran "pillar boxes" on the digital channel that were visible on a 16:9 television. They were used to take up the space on the left and right side of the screen during 4:3 programming. The pillar boxes had a blue stylized background with CBS 2 logos repeated all over it.
