Worth a mention for those who are interested that it's 50 years to the day since the very first edition of BBC Wales Today - which apparently pre-dates the dedicated BBC1 Wales service itself.

There's going to be a series of special reports this week on Wales Today looking back at 50 years of the programme, starting with a look back at the early years tonight. There was a brief excerpt in the lunchtime bulletin of an interview with one of the original presenters, Brian Hoey.

There's also a trailer for the programme which is running at the moment, featuring various clips of newsreaders and sets from years gone by.

Should be worth a look at 6:30.

Originally Wales and the West shared Wenvoe, so both did half of the opt period.
