Jamie Owen said: “I’ve had a blast at BBC Wales - but the offer to front international news on a global platform is an offer too good to refuse”

He was a good presenter however I look forward to see someone new fronting Wales Today to alternate with Lucy Owen. After all we in Wales have been used to seeing him present Wales Today since is it 1994?
