Heno (English: Tonight) is S4C's current evening magazine television programme, broadcast at 7pm each weekday. Its afternoon sister programme is called Prynhawn da (English: Good Afternoon).
Heno was originally first broadcast on S4C on Monday 17 September 1990, made by production company Agenda (which became Tinopolis) in Swansea. It was replaced by a similar programme, Wedi 7, in 2003.
Heno returned on 1 March 2012 after Tinopolis won a £5.1 million contract. The show is recorded in Tinopolis's Llanelli studio. In May 2012 they re-opened their studio in Caernarfon (which they had recently closed) following complaints that the programme was too Llanelli based. The Caernarfon studio created content about North and Mid-Wales.
The programme was originally broadcast at 6pm each weekday, but since 2012 has aired at between 7pm and 8pm on Mondays and Fridays, or 7-7:30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Broadcasts are live, with a variety of guests chatting with the presenters in the Llanelli studio. Several reporters provide short items of interest from around Wales.
It was originally presented by Angharad Mair, Sian Thomas, and Glynog Davies (now a producer of the programme). Mair and Thomas are still (2015) regular presenters.
