You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''About Anglia''''' was a regional [[television news magazine|news magazine]] programme produced by [[ITV Anglia|Anglia Television]] in the east of England, broadcast for over thirty years from 2 June 1960 to 6 July 1990.

==History==
One of the first regional programmes of its kind on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], ''About Anglia'' began in May 1960 as a twice-weekly programme, accompanying the ten-minute regional evening news bulletin on weekdays.

Its success prompted it to be extended to four nights a week the following September, and then, every weeknight.<ref>[http://www.78rpm.co.uk/anglia.htm Dinosaurs - Anglia Television]</ref> Its original main presenter was [[Dick Joice]].

==Features==
Early regular features included gardening, ''Police Call'' and in-depth weather forecasts for the region provided by Anglia's in-house weather department.

Some early elements of ''About Anglia'' featured on the short-lived ''Midday Show'', which aired during the first few months of the station, and featured [[Susan Hampshire]] among its cast.

==Transmission==
The programme was transmitted throughout the Anglia region: [[Norfolk]], [[Suffolk]], [[Essex]], [[Cambridgeshire]], [[Northamptonshire]], [[Bedfordshire]], [[Hertfordshire]], [[Buckinghamshire]], [[Lincolnshire]] and east [[Yorkshire]].

From 1 January 1974, East Yorkshire, [[Lincolnshire]] and parts of north [[Norfolk]] (served by the Belmont transmitter) were transferred to the Yorkshire Television area, although the Anglia weather department continued to produced special regional forecasts for the area for several years.

==Demise==
''About Anglia'' was given a new, modern look on Monday 21 March 1988 when Anglia Television abandoned its original identification, a small silver statue of a knight on horseback.

Two years later, on Monday 9 July 1990, ''About Anglia'' was replaced by ''Anglia News'', which transmitted two programmes:
*'''Anglia News East''' for Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and parts of Cambridgeshire
*'''Anglia News West''' for Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, North Hertfordshire, North Buckinghamshire, South Lincolnshire and the rest of Cambridgeshire.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCtbPUDB-WI|title=last About Anglia|website=[[YouTube]] |date=9 November 2007))</ref>

Both were produced and broadcast from studios at Anglia House in Norwich, long before this became standard practice across ITV regional news services, with reporters in Ipswich, Chelmsford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Northampton, Luton and Milton Keynes, along with a political bureaux at Westminster.

Cutbacks in 2009 led to the reintroduction of a pan-regional programme (known as ''Anglia Tonight'') with shorter sub-regional opt outs – which have since been extended under ''[[ITV News Anglia]]''.

== Presenters ==
Many ''About Anglia'' personalities moved on to national prominence.

* In 1960, [[David Dimbleby]] spent his summer vacation from [[Oxford University]] working as an ''About Anglia'' reporter.<ref>[https://www.transdiffusion.org/2015/10/27/anglia-at-21 Anglia at 21], transdiffusion.org, 27 October 2015</ref> The same year also saw [[David Frost]] join the reporting team – infamously, his contract was not renewed by Anglia Television, reputedly because management felt he did not have a future in regional television.<ref>((cite news |url=http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2013-09-02/memories-of-sir-david-frosts-anglia-links/ |title=Memories of Sir David Frost's Anglia links |work=itv.com |date=2 September 2013))</ref><ref>((cite news |url=http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2013-09-01/sir-david-frost-talks-about-his-time-on-about-anglia/ |title=Sir David Frost talks about his time on About Anglia |work=itv.com |date=1 September 2013))</ref>
* [[Judy Finnigan]] came to Anglia in the mid-1970s from [[Granada Television]] as a reporter and presenter. She married and settled in [[Norwich]], making her name in 1977 when she gave birth to twin sons and, the following day, showed the babies on ''About Anglia''. She left to return to Granada as co-host of ''[[Granada Reports]]''.
* [[Bob Wellings]], covering offbeat stories, became a presenter of [[BBC Television]]'s current affairs ''[[Nationwide (TV series)|Nationwide]]'' programme in 1971, staying there until 1979.
* [[Alastair Yates]] joined ''About Anglia'' in 1987 following a period with [[Grampian Television]]'s ''[[North Tonight]]'', but left two years later to become the first presenter on [[Sky News]] in Britain.
