what
true. wonder if the 9am bulletin will be poignant or just simply '' join us at 1:30 from central square hwhl fawr''?

I can’t imagine they’ll do much, given the 9am bulletin is only a minute or so.

Also, it’s spelt “hwyl”, not “hwhl”.

Don’t see why Newyddion has a Cardiff backdrop but Wales today doesn’t?

Because they are two different shows that made different editorial choices.

Article on BBC News online giving further details

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54281802

I'm not sure that article's right in claiming that it's the first IP facility in the UK. It might have been the case when they first started building it, but I think Bloomberg got there first.


Yes, as pointed out using 2022-6, so in my book that still qualifies them to be the first UK facility to use IP. Mind you if you consider facilites on wheels, then Arena were there first in 2016 😎

Worth noting the 2017 news article which it links to has slightly different wording of... "It will be the first BBC facility in the UK to use the Internet Protocol (IP) technology across both its production and broadcast operations." ...ref https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-39706501.

I'm assuming the long term plan is to roll out IP technology into all of the BBC nations and regions.

Well that's the way things are going, I don't think that any new facility built would be built without an IP-based infrastructure. I don't think the BBC will be actively rolling it out, but as centres are refitted they'll almost certainly be IP.

As all their local radio is now virtualised I suppose they are all now classed as IP based?

My fav studio was the 2005-2010 look and the 2013 look. on the screens they copied the loop you see on the national news but that lasted for a day

Can anyone record the late bulletin tonight?
WH
what
I’ll try.


Also, would the last news show from Llandaff not technically be coverage of tomorrow’s Welsh Government COVID briefing?
