ITV News Cymru Wales

ITV News Cymru Wales is a Welsh national television news service, produced by ITV Cymru Wales.

Overview
ITV News Cymru Wales is broadcast live from ITV's studios at Culverhouse Cross on the western outskirts of Cardiff with a newsroom based in Colwyn Bay, in the north of the country, and a political unit at the National Assembly of Wales in Cardiff Bay. District reporters are also based in Carmarthen, Merthyr Tydfil, Swansea and Wrexham.

ITV Wales was unaffected by the ITV regional news cuts in 2009.

On Monday 14 January 2013, the news service was relaunched and renamed as ITV News Cymru Wales.

On 17 September 2013, ITV announced it would launch a weekly 30-minute current affairs programme, Newsweek Wales, featuring interviews, analysis and a look back at the week's main news stories in Wales. The new programme, broadcast on Sunday lunchtimes, was launched on Sunday 22 September 2013. A previous plan to extend the weekday late bulletin to 15 minutes was scrapped.

Broadcast times
ITV News Cymru Wales airs on ITV seven days a week.

On weekdays, three short bulletins are broadcast during Daybreak at 6:07am, 7:07am and 8:07am with a four-minute lunchtime update at 1:55pm, following the ITV News at 1:30. The main half-hour programme airs at 6pm with a 7-minute late bulletin at 10:30pm, following the ITV News at Ten.

At weekends, two 5-minute bulletins are broadcast - one later on Saturday afternoons and another on Sunday evenings. In addition, a half-hour current affairs programme reflecting on the week's Welsh news, Newsweek Wales, airs on Sunday lunchtime and includes an extra news bulletin.
