Canal de las Estrellas

Canal de las Estrellas (Channel of the Stars) is one of the cornerstone networks of Televisa, with affiliate stations all over Mexico, flagshipped at XEW-TV in Mexico City. Many of the programs of Canal de las Estrellas are seen in the United States on Univision, UniMás, and Galavisión.[1] Canal de las Estrellas has been criticized for its practice of airing a significant amount of 4:3 standard definition content stretched to 16:9 high definition that some TV viewers have nicknamed Stretch-o-Vision, until March 14, 2012, when Canal de las Estrellas, FOROtv, Canal 5 and Galavisión broadcasts a significant amount of 4:3 standard definition content in their original resolution.
