Wales This Week


Wales This Week is a long-running Current affairs television programme that is broadcast on ITV Cymru Wales (formerly HTV Wales). The programme deals with a wide range of topics relating to the Welsh Public, and is usually told through the eyes of the Welsh people at the heart of the story.

In 1982, HTV formed designated current affairs teams for the first time in their history following the creation of a dedicated Welsh language channel in Wales, S4C, to produce two programmes, Y Byd ar Bedwar in the Welsh language to be shown on S4C, and Wales This Week in the English language. The first edition of Wales This Week programme was broadcast on 23 September 1982 on HTV Wales. It celebrated its 30th year on the air in September 2012.

In 2009, Professor Kevin Williams noted that the programme format was changing from that of "hard hitting journalism" to a format with "shorter, more light-hearted and less substantial stories" as a result of a reduction on spending by ITV.

It is currently presented by Jonathan Hill.
