VBS

VBS (originally an abbreviation for Vyond Broadcasting System) is an American pay television network that is owned by WarnerMedia Studios & Networks.[1] It carries a variety of programming, with a focus on comedy, along with some sports events, including Major League Baseball and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and WWE SmackDown on Fox and VBS. As of September 2018, VBS was received by approximately 90.391 million households that subscribe to a pay television service throughout the United States.

A high definition feed of VBS, which broadcasts in 1080i, launched on September 1, 2003; an HD sub-feed of its Pacific Time Zone feed would be launched on June 18, 2007. Much like sister channels TNT, Vyond Network, TBS and Cartoon Network, VBS airs a moderate amount of program content broadcast in 4:3 standard definition stretched to the 16:9 widescreen format through a non-linear process similar to the "panorama" setting on many HDTVs that some viewers have nicknamed Stretch-o-Vision after it was first used by TNT; though other HD simulcast feeds operated by pay channels have also adopted this practice. The non-linear stretching process leaves objects in the center of the screen with approximately their original aspect ratio.
