Cardiff News (branded on air as #CardiffNews) is a local television news and current affairs service, covering Cardiff. Produced by Made in Cardiff, the news operation is based at studios in Cardiff city centre.
Cardiff News originally aired as a twice-nightly programme called Hello Cardiff, focusing exclusively on news stories from the Cardiff area, as opposed to the national news services provided by BBC Cymru Wales and ITV Cymru Wales.
The programme was relaunched in February 2016 as Cardiff's Local News and moved to new timeslots of 6pm and 9pm, followed two months later by a rebrand to #CardiffNews. In July 2016, the station reported it claimed a weekly audience of nearly 100,000 viewers for #CardiffNews.
In February 2017, the weekday programme was axed with shorter updates now airing during the live magazine programme, The Crunch Cardiff, each weeknight from 6-8pm. An hour-long weekly review programme continues to air on Saturdays and Sundays at 7pm.
The station's videojournalists are Laura Allen (also news editor) and Daniel Wilson with weather presenter Luke Davies.
