Subchannel history

Since its addition to the subchannel lineup, One PH has been transmitted in widescreen on the channel 18 multiplex, while a 4:3 letterboxed feed is shown for the channel 51 multiplex; the latter would later mirror its widescreen feed with the former's multiplex sometime later. On April 16, 2023, output on DWET-TV began broadcasting its main channel in 16:9 widescreen output. For some reason, despite the main channel's shift to widescreen broadcasting, the One Sports subchannel remains transmitting in the 4:3 standard definition format.
