Yes pre 1983 The caption show all the transmitters in service including 405 line, which included Anglia's very first mast Mendlesham which today is still a regional FM mast for Kiss FM and some DAB stuff. At the time as recorded in the 1962 Gunniss Book of Records Europe's tallest mast at 1003ft. and in 1965 it's relay Belmont became even taller at about 1265ft of the top of my head, it got shortened in about 2011 for digital switchover. Anglia did big. This was a second generation caption as in 1974 the Belmont Transmitter was switched from Anglia to Yorkshire, and to "fill" the gap in North Norfolk new relays were installed at King's Lynn (actually on the Queen's estate at Sandringham), South Creake, Wells and East Runcton near Cromer. So a revised caption was introduced. Ironically most people just kept their aerials pointed at Belmont, or would have two so if you didn't like the film on Yorkshire you could switch to Anglia instead.

Yes this is the version I remember with both Vaughan Williams and Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School

In Galar the startup announcement would be as follows: "This is Ballon Television, broadcasting a full color service in Ballonlea and the West of Galar from the transmitters of Macro Cosmos Television".
