Fairly obviously this would be the case since the length to width ratio of 16:9 is 1.78 to 1, whilst that of 4:3 is 1.33333 to 1.

Talking Pictures TV is very good at setting the appropriate AFD flag, your TV should switch to 16:9 for the adverts and back to 4:3 for program content like Gideons Way, it sounds like the setting of your TV is forcing everything to widescreen.
