RE: Hopefully, 4:3 broadcasts will disappear to be replaced with 16:9.

Switching to widescreen production means buying all-new equipment. Smaller producers may not be ready for that. Note that most commercials are still in 4:3, even the ones shown on "HD" channels.
>>I don't even know if you can buy a 4:3 display anymore. <<
Sure you can. The bulk of new televisions under 20" diagonal are 4:3.
