I don't know what some stations do to their content. I see it with commercials more than actual shows. The only thing I can think is that they have content at a lower resolution than their broadcast, and rather than introduce ugly artifacts by scaling it up, they just show it centered at the original res.
The other thing that makes me crazy is when they stretch the sides of a 4:3 show to fill a 16:9 screen. You see it a lot on second tier basic cable networks that show a lot of older content. I can't even watch a show like that, if the camera pans or moves at all, I almost get dizzy.
