Not all of them would have the option of mitigating that via ITVX or a linear feed of ITV 2 HD. That’s all.
HD is more noticeable for children too as most children have better eyesight than adults.
Overall, though, as I said in my post previously, it’s not a big deal but it is a shame.
judging by the likes of TIKTOK and YouTube shorts, kids seem to prefer 9:16 than 16:9.
