They have a habit of using the network bed. I’m sure they were the only region to use the 2007 music.

Yes they were. They even used the network titles and closing music at one point in 2007. It didn’t last long as they manually slowed down the speed of the titles to match the build up.

They also don't use the 2013 National headline bed during the regional headline opts. It can sound a bit jarring.

In a shock to no one, the new set is the same as EMT’s. Picture quality is still dire.
