wtf? why would the UK pick 50 hz for broadcasting?

Because TV was always in 50hz in Europe (used to be tied to 50hz AC power at the start) and thus all TV programs have always been in 50hz. Why would they convert all their existing content for such a little upgrade. Imo they should have switched to 100hz broadcasting for HDTV, compatible with 50hz and much better then your tv inserting frames.

You could also ask the question why would the US stick to 60hz for broadcasting, majority is 50hz.

Lol at that map and then asking why UK isn't using the 60hz model. Would be like 2 people walking through the heart of china wondering why people there aren't speaking English.
