''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. According to the BBC, it is the world's longest-running television news programme.〔http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/mypension/en/prospero_oct_2012.pdf〕 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. ==History== The programme began at 6:10pm on Monday 17 September 1962. Its predecessor, a short ''News from Wales'' bulletin, started in 1957 and was originally presented by Michael Aspel. The new programme, originally presented by Brian Hoey, shared a 25-minute timeslot for regional news with ''Points West'' from Bristol - at the time, both programmes were broadcast to Wales and the West of England from the Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff. By February 1964, two new television regions, BBC Wales and BBC West, had been created with the addition of a new channel (13) for Wales on Wenvoe. ''Wales Today'' thus became a 25-minute programme broadcast only to Wales while ''Points West'' was only broadcast to the West of England. In 1969, separate UHF transmitters at Wenvoe (Wales) and Mendip (West) meant complete separation, except for overlap areas in South Wales. Between September 1984 and September 1988, the programme aired at 5.35pm - one hour earlier than most of its counterpart BBC news programmes elsewhere in the UK - before moving to the 6.30pm timeslot in September 1988.〔http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/bbc_wales/news.html〕 ''Wales Today'' shares the same studio facilities (studio C2 at Broadcasting House in Cardiff) as S4C's ''Newyddion'' programme. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BBC Wales Today」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
