Both channels are native 4:3, why else would they show widescreen content in a letterbox? A descriptor/flag incorrectly describes the format as anamorphic widescreen, TVs act on the descriptor and stretch the picture across the width of the screen.

Pretty much because the official announcement is usually the channel arriving on the EPG.

They would still need to be more proactive about the reason for any known delays, it's so much easier than trying to firefight after any speculation has started.
