BBC Wales Today extended to one hour from 18:30 until 19:30 tonight on BBC1 Wales, because of the resignation of Mark Drakeford. The One Show moves to BBC2 Wales as a result. I wonder if ITV News Cymru Wales and S4C Newyddion will also be extended to cover his resignation?

Wales at Six was not extended.

Newyddion at 7:30 looks like it is extended by five minutes (with the short bulletin just before 9pm not in today's schedule). S4C are also repeating the 'Prif Weinidog mewn Pandemig' doccumentary that followed Mark Drakeford during the 2020/21 autumn and winter at 10pm.

By coincidence, the final episode of the year of ITV Wales' political magazine show Sharp End aired on Monday and featured an interview with Drakeford admitting he won't be in his role in a year's time.

Though not expected, I didn't see any newsflashes on BBC One or BBC Two Wales during their broadcasts this morning.

BBC Radio Wales broke the story with a 30 second hit from their newsreader at around 11:18 and then it was the main topic of the news focused phone-in at midday.

Radio Cymru took the speech live at 11:10, interrupting the song that had just started, returning to Sian Cothi's programme at 11:19.
