It seems that some stations still stuck with 4:3 while some are in HD
Yes. The reason behind this is to ensure coverage of rural areas where many households still only have SDTV televisions.
All provincial satellite TV channels must simulcast CCTV-1's Xinwen Lianbo at 1900BST/BJT.
I thought it was all the terrestrial TV channels (or at least one channel per TV broadcasters) that are forced to simulcast Xinwen Lianbo ?
Is there a website to read PRC laws? I'm looking for a clause that forces TV broadcasters to simulcast Xinwen Lianbo .
It was like what you said because the order was made by CCP Publicity Department and the Department of Radio and Television (now SAPPRFT) in 1981 when there were no satellite TV channels in China. The order required all the flagship TV channels (provincial, prefecture-level, and county-level) to simulcast Xinwen Lianbo to ensure coverage of official CCP policy changes and big announcements. Since late 90s, most provincial flagship TV channels have gradually become satellite TV channels.
There were and are always exceptions to this order. Here is an example. Due to historical reasons, Shanghai's SMG Dragon TV (satellite TV channel), which was launched in Oct 2003, did not simulcast Xinwen Lianbo till 2007. STV News and General Channel, the flagship TV channel of Shanghai Television (now part of SMG), does not simulcast Xinwen Lianbo .

How did you get all the opening videos compiled into one video? Sure that Youtube is not allowed in China right?
Edit: Have seen the compilation videos. Seems like a great way to introduce myself to various Chinese provinces since I have some knowledge on China.
It's just a name. Basically many provincial news programs tried to match with CCTV Xinwen Lianbo. Some even copied its graphics.
Chinese provincial satellite TV channels are usually the provinces' flagship TV channels (like BBC One) with news, dramas, and variety shows. They are on-air nationwide with different coverage.
The provincial primetime news bulletins are either aired before or after CCTV Xinwen Lianbo on these satellite channels only. They usually last for 30 minutes, with a few exceptions. Some have rebroadcasts the next morning in place of live morning news programs, and some have rebroadcasts on local channels.
All provincial satellite TV channels must simulcast CCTV-1's Xinwen Lianbo at 1900BST/BJT.
Due to historical reasons, Fujian's FJTV and Shanghai's SMG have two primetime news programs.

I'm not in China now, and cctv.com (Mandarin) has full episodes of most provincial news programs (morning, midday, evening, primetime, and nightly news) and some local news.

It's Library music, and the last I heard it was on Palm FM, before it became The Breeze.
