We had Anglia as one oif our ITV channels in Hull for many years - until 1974 in fact. They gave Hull far more coverage than YTV did. Then in 1969 Emley Moor mast fell down, and when replaced reception of YTV was poor, so in 1974 the IOBA took away Anglia and handed it to Yorkshire Tv (channel 7) which is why you can still watch Yorkshire TV well down into Norfolk.

WhiteCamry Thinking the same thing! The announcer also sounds Australian, perhaps they re-used the voiceover from an Australian launch?
