The final sub-regional 6pm editions of ''Anglia Tonight'' were broadcast on Wednesday 11 February 2009. Becky Jago and Jonathan Wills anchored the programme in 2012. The then remaining sub-regional elements were: *A 6-minute opt-out during the main 6pm programme. *The full 8-minute late weeknight bulletins. *Localised weather forecasts.
