About bbc Wales
BBC Wales is the BBC’s national broadcaster for Wales, covering news, talk, and variety programming, with a free online stream available through its official site at bbc.com/wales.
The station operates out of Central Square in Cardiff, the headquarters of BBC Cymru Wales. Its television news programme, BBC Wales Today, holds a remarkable distinction: the BBC describes it as the longest-running television news programme in the world. That’s a genuine claim, not marketing copy, and it says something about how long this operation has been at it.
If you’ve landed here looking to listen online, the stream is free. The programming mix covers Welsh news and current affairs alongside talk and variety output, making it the go-to source for audiences who want coverage that actually focuses on Wales rather than treating it as a footnote to a London-facing broadcast.
