I don't know if this is telling but there seems to be a fair bit of turnover among editorial roles at ITV Wales (although Jonathan has been in management for some years now)

Admittedly, the programme can feel like its dragging from time to time.

I notice Ruth tends to get a bit of extended airtime as well, sometimes introducing a story herself (be it from studio or as an OB) just before the weather.

It's bizarre. Wales is a nation, has a primary law making parliament , stand alone NHS and education service so the news bulletins should be rich with content, and warm cultural and human stories. Instead it's every self interested charity/activist tales of woe filling the main 6pm show; apparent reluctance to challange the Labour government that's been in power 20 plus years.

Granada Reports fits into the ITV News format and I assume budget, yet is streets ahead in newsy content - it's very warm watchable compared to Wales at Six which as said can be a chore to watch; I saw Wednesdays on ITVX and was surprised how poor it was.

Such a waste, they do have some great talent there but its lost in a sea of badly produced dirge.
