Newyddion

Newyddion S4C (S4C News) is a Welsh-language news programme consisting of Welsh, UK, and international news, produced daily by BBC Cymru Wales and broadcast on S4C.

Before S4C started broadcasting in November 1982, Newyddion was seen as a five-minute regional opt-out programme on BBC One, usually broadcast around 7:00 pm, where it replaced programmes in the schedule such as Tomorrow's World. The first Newyddion on BBC One Wales was broadcast on 2 August 1971 at 18:55 with the last BBC One Wales bulletin seen on 29 October 1982 at 7:00pm, though Welsh-language television news on the BBC dates back to 6pm on 16 March 1956.

Overview
The main evening programme (branded Newyddion) is broadcast each weekday evening at 7:30pm with shorter editions airing throughout the day and at varying times on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Five-minute updates are broadcast at midday, mid-afternoon (2pm, 3pm), and evenings (8:55pm)

Dewi Llwyd, who presented the programme for almost 30 years, was dropped from the presentation team in 2013.
