Drag out the AMPEX one inch machine. It's that time of year... 

Once again ABC is broadcasting 'The Ten Commandments' in boxy 4:3 and 
mastodonic mono sound. 

I think the stereo-wide screen DVD version of the film has been in the 
stores for what? Five years? 

Maybe this time next year, when all the analog stations are long gone 
the network will air a high definition wide screen-stereo 7.1 version 
of the film to promote HDTV. 

Or perhaps the contract for playing the old analog-mono version runs 
through 2015?
