===Background===
'''Anglia Television''' was launched on 27 October 1959 as the ITV franchise holder for the East of England. During its years as an independent station, it was best known for the nature documentary series ''Survival'', as well as the British versions of the game shows ''Sale of the Century'' and ''Gambit''. It also owned the animation studio [[Cosgrove Hall Films]] from 1993 onwards, and half of HBO subsidiary [[Citadel Entertainment]] until 1998.
In 1994, Anglia was bought by Mills & Allen International (later merged with United Newspapers in 1996 to form [[United Film & Television|United News & Media]]), then by [[Granada Media Group|Granada]] in 2000, and as a result of the Carlton-Granada merger in 2004, ceased to exist as a separate brand.

* There was also a version of this logo <u>without the texts</u>, which featured the knight rotating on a turntable before the camera zoomed in on his flag and he stopped rotating.

Visuals: There is the shadow of a model knight on horseback holding a triangular flag in the background. "FROM EAST ANGLIA" is displayed on the screen. It then fades out, and a spotlight lights up above the knight. "Anglia" is displayed on the flag in a fancy font. The camera then fades into a close-up shot of the flag, with "PRESENTS" below. The company's original station clock, which survived into their colour era, also featured the knight on the right side of its face.
Trivia: The knight statue was originally commissioned by King William III of the Netherlands for the Falcon Club. It is intended to represent the Black Prince. It was bought by the station's chairman, Lord Townshend after he spotted it in a jeweler's store.
