Anglia & Meridian 1999/2000

The only example of the [itv] logo being added to the Anglia flag ident online was a screenshot on the now defunct TV50.org.uk website...

Anglia page from TV-50 on the WayBack Machine

Unlike the Meridian example, here "888" now reads "Subtitles" if that helps date it.

Given Meridian and Anglia did this, it would make sense that HTV would also add an [itv] logo to their ident. But I don't recall ever seeing an example of that!


No, never seen that, and to my knowledge, that never happened. Also, not sure of the exact date, but presumably as HTV West TX only moved over from Cardiff to Southampton in 1999 IIRC, that probably had something to do with it in terms of timing.

... I can't seem to find any examples online of Anglia or Meridian ever using the lines form-up, only either the live action sequences or the 'ambient' spinning hearts for shorter or 'serious' links, pre 2001/ ITV1.


I've now uploaded a 17-minute video of adverts from Anglia recorded in December 1999 that includes a lines form-up Anglia hearts idents at the end. (Also has Christmas promo and standard promo examples.)(Plus a 'blink and you'll miss it' appearance from David Mitchell in an advert for mobile phones complaining about how bullies burned his teddy bear in the dormitories.)

Secondly, does anyone know if Anglia and Meridian ever used the blue/purple and blue/yellow full form up versions of the ITV Hearts branding (the non film/live action idents) in conjunction with the film ones? For clarity, this is when they were still ITV, not the ITV1 changes that came when they only used the blue form up version having ditched the live action idents. I can't seem to find any evidence on line, but perhaps someone who lived in these regions may know?


Anglia certainly mixed the live action films with the animated form-up when it was still using the [itv] logo underneath. I have a blue/purple form-up ident on tape from Sunday 19-Dec-1999 into the Weekend News.

My page on the hearts idents says it was in early Nov 2001, when "itv.com" was added to the idents, that the live action sequences were dropped by most regions.



Thanks again! I can't seem to find any examples online of Anglia or Meridian ever using the lines form-up, only either the live action sequences or the 'ambient' spinning hearts for shorter or 'serious' links, pre 2001/ ITV1.

Anglia & Meridian 1999/2000

For the Anglia 40th ident where they took the flag ident and added the rotating horse and a '40', I believe this was used for all programmes (a bit like Christmas idents). But I'm happy to be proven wrong!


Thanks for the info.. Any idea how long it lasted on screen for?

Anglia & Meridian 1999/2000

Hi all, hoping to glean some knowledge from your collective brains from Anglia and Meridian pres, way back in 1999/2000...

Firstly, does anyone recall how long Anglia ran its 40th special knight/flag ident and whether this was used for a time before all programmes, or just for instance regional ones?

Secondly, does anyone know if Anglia and Meridian ever used the blue/purple and blue/yellow full form up versions of the ITV Hearts branding (the non film/live action idents) in conjunction with the film ones? For clarity, this is when they were still ITV, not the ITV1 changes that came when they only used the blue form up version having ditched the live action idents. I can't seem to find any evidence on line, but perhaps someone who lived in these regions may know?

Thanks in advance!
