Description
editThe Welsh-language television programme was first broadcast on 7 January 2002 with Angharad Mair presenting and Catrin Evans interviewing the politician Rod Richards and Gwyn Llywelyn questioning the Chief constable of North Wales Police at the time, Richard Brunstrom, in his first Welsh interview.[1] It was presented by the programme's editor, Angharad Mair,[2] and included Wales' news including leisure, entertainment and all the local events. She was joined by studio guests ranging from well-known celebrities to the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow and those with a story to tell. A team of correspondents based in Llanelli and Caernarfon reported live into the programme every night.[3]
Wedi7 was replaced by a revived version of Heno (Welsh for 'Tonight'), a similar Tinopolis-produced evening magazine programme, on 1 March 2012.[4]
