Don't think we've ever seen the Nations do a newsflash, have we? (nor Newyddion, for that matter)
That said, do we know if S4C broke into Cyw for a newsflash? (their first scheduled bulletin was at midday)
Bit surprising how both radio networks handled it - Radio Cymru, in particular, happy to carry what was a mostly English speech, but they probably did it best (their newsreader did a 2-way with one of their breakfast presenters afterwards before returning to 'Bore Cothi')
Quite how it would have been handled before 11am would have been interesting as Radio Cymru is split into two in the morning (and you'll hear quite a lot more English on Radio Cymru 2 - that much is true)
In hindsight, it was all expected yet felt unexpected - Drakeford had always committed to five years as FM, yet it still took a lot of people by surprise.
