According to the freeview site:

TV3 and C4 have been broadcast in Widescreen since 11 April 2007 and TVNZ (1, 2 and sports extra) will be broadcast in Widescreen from 22 September 2007.

All new channels will be broadcast in widescreen if the content allows. Currently if you have a widescreen TV and are receiving a digital signal through a set top box, TVNZ channels are stretched to fill the entire screen. When TVNZ broadcast changes to full widescreen you will see black bars to the left and right of the image when 4:3 images are broadcast.
