Wales Today is the BBC's national news programme for Wales, broadcast on BBC One Wales from the headquarters of BBC Wales in Llandaff, Cardiff.
[edit] HistoryThe programme began at 6:10pm on Monday 17 September 1962. Its predecessor, a five-minute News from Wales bulletin, started in 1957 and was originally presented by Michael Aspel. The ten-minute timeslot (doubled in length to coincide with Wales Today's launch) was shared with Points West from Bristol - at the time, both programmes were broadcast to Wales and the West of England. By February 1964, two new television regions, BBC Wales and BBC West, had been created. Wales Today thus became a 25-minute programme broadcast only to Wales. [edit] BulletinsOn weekdays, Wales Today broadcasts six three minute bulletins at 27 and 57 minutes past each hour during BBC Breakfast. An 18-minute lunchtime programme airs at 1:30pm with a short update broadcast at 3pm. The main half-hour edition of the programme airs between 6:30pm and 7:00pm. A short 30-second headline update is broadcast during BBC News's 8pm summary with the late night bulletin airing at 10:25pm, following the BBC News at Ten. Four bulletins air during the weekend: a lunchtime bulletin on Saturday, early evening bulletins on Saturday & Sunday and a late night bulletin on Sundays, following the BBC News at Ten. From November 2001, a fifteen minute news bulletin was broadcast on the digital opt-out service BBC 2W, first as 2W News and Sport and later, Wales Today on 2W. The bulletin was axed in 2007. The programme can be watched in any part of the UK (and Europe) on digital satellite channel 972 on the BBC UK regional TV on satellite service. Selected video packages from the programme are available on the BBC news website. [edit] The team[edit] Main anchors[edit] Bulletin presenters
