Thats because when they produce shows they compromise it by filming everything in the 4:3 safe area - at least some of the shows are starting to push it out to the edges of it rather then sticking to a title safe area within the 4:3 area.

Thats the reason that all the analog channels here are broadcasting in 13:9 or 14:9 so that old tvs with overscan problems are not missing out on the captions and titles on current shows - LCDs etc dont suffer from overscan and thats what things are made for these days.
