The RTL Deutschland channels RTL, RTL2, Super RTL and Vox, along with news-based n-tv, have switched to the 16:9 widescreen format.
RTL produces all its programmes in the widescreen format and the news channel n-tv has even launched an all-new on-air look.
With regards to a switchover to HD, RTL Deutschland has not yet to formulate any plans to start broadcasting in the format.
