France 2's new early morning bulletin produced by Franceinfo. Note the relaxing music bed that changes to the brash Jean-Michel Jarre news bulletin theme. As mentioned previously in this thread, Franceinfo now starts at 0630 CET while France 2 uses the studio for this bulletin.

An example of a report in HD on Malaysia's Buletin TV3's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BeritaTV3/videos/1707403805941460/

Buletin Utama has been produced from its upgraded HD studios since late 2012. However the output for broadcast is in SD.

All TV news programs in Malaysia except Bernama News Channel and possibly Astro Awani are produced in HD, but still stuck in SD for broadcast. (Note: Bernama News Channel and Astro Awani are the only two news channels in Malaysia).

TV3 Malaysia and its other stations in Media Prima group which still stuck in SD 576i and 4:3 is currently already airing new programs in 16:9 anamorphic since December last year. It is unknown whether TV3 will start broadcasting in HD and air news in HD.

Bit tacky/distasteful that they'd play pop songs at the junctions to the break when they are in breaking news/disaster mode.

Looks like C7 and C10 are both using the GMA playbook.

In Japan, Fuji TV's late night newscast Your Time did use various English songs for its opening and closing, which changes everyday. See the list: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A6%E3%82%A2%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0#.E3.83.86.E3.83.BC.E3.83.9E.E3.82.BD.E3.83.B3.E3.82.B0

This was back in the first week when they started airing in April last year. (I haven't seen any real videos of them). By next month they changed to a specially-made theme, composed by one of the members of a long established musical group, but the theme is not so newsy, just like any other Japanese newscast nowadays. From my experience watching online videos, Germany's RTL did use popular English songs as theme music for some of its programmes, especially the reality show ones. Same goes for Japanese TV programmes.
