Identity
Anglia's original ident was a short film of a rotating silver statue of a knight on horseback. Station identification (sometimes called a sounder or stinger) is the practice of any type of Radio or Television station or network Knight is the English term for a social position originating in the Middle Ages. At the end, the camera zoomed in on the pennon atop the knight's lance, which showed the station's name. A pennon or pennant is one of the principal varieties of Flags carried during the Middle Ages. The term lance has become a catchall for a variety of different Pole weapons based on the Spear. An arrangement, by Malcolm Sargent, of Handel's Water Music was played over the film. WikipediaWikiProject Classical music#Biographical_infoboxes -->Sir Harold Malcolm Watts Sargent (29 April 1895 &ndash 3 October 1967 The Water Music is a collection of orchestral movements often considered as three Suites composed by George Frideric Handel. The Anglia knight logo became so closely identified with the station that when, in 1999, the station produced a book to mark its fortieth anniversary, it was entitled A Knight On The Box (ISBN 0-906836-40-9). The Anglia knight is a Sterling silver trophy that was originally commissioned by William III of the Netherlands in 1850 for the Falcon Club, a society A logo ( Greek el λογότυπος = el-Latn logotypos is a graphical element ( Ideogram, Symbol, Emblem, Icon, Sign) Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar)

Coverage areas
Anglia originally covered mainly Norfolk, Suffolk, the northern and more rural parts of Essex and Cambridgeshire before expanding to the less rural areas of Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire with the opening of the Sandy Heath transmitter in 1965, covering an area which had previously been an awkward gap in ITV's coverage of the UK.

The Independent Broadcasting Authority decided that Anglia's coverage area was now too large for a "minor" company, and Yorkshire Television's was too small for a "major" company, so YTV was given the Belmont transmitter from January 1, 1974, even though it also covered the northern parts of Norfolk, which now found themselves watching television from Leeds (subsequently, Anglia-only relay stations would be built, restoring the station to parts of north Norfolk).
