Why do so many cable channels on my widescreen tv suddenly have black bars?

I'm starting to see more channels with the black bars at the top and bottom. It wasn't like that several months ago when I got my tv. It's already a widescreen tv why the black bars? This is annoying especially watching sports, and my screen is only 26 inches. CBS has a football game that uses my full screen, but FOX has a game on with these annoying black bars. These aren't HD channels I don't have that package. They are just digital. I don't see the point. I don't want any technical answers just speak English.
