I don't think there is much to add to the story which warrants extending bulletins - it had been know for a long time he would go and the interview on Monday put him under pressure to put a date on it.

I broadly agree, especially with what the Welsh news agenda was by 6pm with not much other noteworthy news. But, although I haven't seen the full programme yet, Wales Today covered the news in depth though not dragging out too much, having live interviews with both opposition leaders, a former Labour colleague and the BBC Wales political editor, as well as a chance to air a ten minute interview with Drakeford himself recorded today. This left 20 minutes or so to cover the rest of the day's news.
In a way, it is a shame that BBC Wales Live has finished for the year and is not airing tonight, as most of that additional interviews and discussion could have been ideal for that programme, and wouldn't need to affect the main BBC One Wales schedule.
