There are a number of channels still broadcasting on all platforms in 4:3, notably from Turner Broadcasting (CNN, Cartoon Network, TCM), the various kids and music channels and the majority of the higher numbers on each EPG area. Nothing to do with VM - complain to the broadcaster. I suspect your Judge Judy was not recorded in widescreen as ITV is normally in widescreen.
16:9 adoption has been slower than "the last twenty years" as the US lagged behind until it moved to digital HD standards.
