This is my regional tv station living in North Hertfordshire I was glad to see the back of the Anglia tv Knight in 1988, it was beginning to look outdated, The 1988 Anglia tv triangle flag was my favourite, I Even bought the Anglia tv 40th anniversary book in 1999, Still have it.
Always loved the Anglia knight & the 10 min Anglia TV start up. Takes me right back to junior school in Norfolk waiting for my favourite ITA schools programne to start in 1970 "How We Used to Live"which was produced by Yorkshire TV I recall. Mjnd you loved the flying Anglia triangles shown very briefly at 10.30 which were shown during the adverts. So cool!
After Granada, Anglia must have been the greatest channel for stamina. It was around long before most others but still kept it's franchise throughout and was a successful programme exporter to other companies with programmes like Sale of the Century and Survival occupying prime time all-network slots.
ITV Anglia, previously known as Anglia Television, is the ITV franchise holder for the East of England. The station is based at Anglia House in Norwich, with regional news bureaux in Cambridge and Northampton. ITV Anglia is owned and operated by ITV plc under the licence name of ITV Broadcasting Limited.
Good one, Jonty. I also remember seeing the idents on a TR3X ident history. Speaking of that, TR3X also did an ident history of Anglia, which was one year ago.

Anglia always was a stuffy channel. I was fortunate to be able to get Thames/LWT/Carlton where I was. Certainly the news was more interesting. Watching a report about murder in the capital was way more interesting than someone accidentally driving his tractor into a ditch in Suffolk.
@@bryemycaz No, because after doing extensive research on Wikipedia, the ‘Anglia Knight’ was actually based off and was modelled on the statue of ‘Richard, Coeur de Lion’, ‘King Richard I The Lionheart of England’ from outside the Palace of Westminster in London, England, but it was intended to represent Prince Edward Of Woodstock, also formally known as ‘Edward The Black Prince’ who was the eldest son and heir apparent of ‘King Edward III of England’ back in the 13th Century.
