OVERVIEW

BBC Wales produces Television programming in English and Welsh both for the regional opt-out sections of the BBC One and Two network feeds, and for the dedicated Welsh-language channel S4C . Perhaps its best-known Welsh-language programme is the soap opera '' Pobol Y Cwm '', which has run since 1974 . BBC Wales also runs two radio stations, BBC Radio Wales in English and BBC Radio Cymru which broadcasts in Welsh and is also aimed at a younger audience than Radio Wales. The local television news programme ''Wales Today'' has been produced in Cardiff since 1963 . BBC Wales also produce the Welsh language news programme (Newyddion) for S4C which combines international and UK news with regional news from Wales.

Another popular locally-screened programme is the drama series '' Belonging '', which as of 2005 has run for six seasons since 1999 . An English language programme, ''Belonging'' is produced in-house by the BBC Wales drama department and screened on BBC One during a regional opt-out slot from the main national network feed. As with other such opt-outs, however, it is available to viewers elsewhere in the UK via the Sky Digital platform.

As well as providing these dedicated services for Wales, BBC Wales also — in common with other larger BBC regions — provides programming for national consumption on the entire network. It is particularly noted for its drama output, which includes a 2004 adaptation of Anthony Trollope 's '' He Knew He Was Right '' and the 2005 revival of the classic Science-fiction series '' Doctor Who ''. The BBC National Orchestra Of Wales is also resident at BBC Wales and performs throughout Wales and internationally.
