BBC Cymru Wales logo Broadcasting House Cardiff is the purpose-built headquarters for BBC Cymru Wales' radio, television and online services, situated in north Cardiff. The centre opened in 1966 and consists of three blocks housing studios, offices and technical facilities. The building houses the national broadcaster for Wales, providing a range of English and Welsh language content for audiences across Wales on television, radio and online. Its network TV productions, including Doctor Who and Torchwood, attract millions of viewers worldwide.[1] Contents 1 History 1.1 History of studios in Cardiff 1.2 Construction of Broadcasting House 1.3 Across the city 2 Location 3 Programming 4 Tours 5 See also 6 References 7 External links // History History of studios in Cardiff Cardiff has provided a variety of locations for BBC broadcasting in Wales for more than eighty years. In 1923, Cardiff city centre became the home of station 5WA from which the first broadcast of BBC Wales took place and the first Welsh words heard on British radio. The building is still there today and carries only a small reminder of its historic days, in the form of a commemorative wall plaque. BBC Wales soon expanded rapidly into larger premises in Park Place and a string of other studios. In March 1924 the BBC moved to larger premises at Park Place, later taking over other properties in the street as its Cardiff station expanded to cover more of Wales and the Westcountry, until local and regional broadcasting was interrupted by the outbreak of war in 1939. Post war expansion including the arrival of television prompted the BBC to purchase a ten acre site at Llandaff in 1952 to house all its operations in the city. A young Michael Aspel was among the new faces hired by BBC Wales to present its growing number of programmes. But construction of the new headquarters was delayed due to the cost of the project, so in 1955 the Broadway Methodist Chapel in Roath - followed in 1959 by premises in nearby Stacey Road - were taken over to accommodate the fledgling television service. A temporary broadcasting centre was also set up on the banks of the River Taff near Cardiff Arms Park to cover the 1958 Commonwealth Games that took place in the city. Construction of Broadcasting House The construction of Broadcasting House at Llandaff began in 1963. Radio studios came into use in autumn 1966, and the building was officially opened on 1 March 1967, by HRH Princess Margaret. In 1986 the BBC bought the Home Economics college across the road from Broadcasting House, renaming it Ty Oldfield as a tribute to former controller Alun Oldfield-Davies. Across the city BBC Wales has a city centre presence today in the form of the Big Screen outside St David's Hall. In recent years the BBC has developed a presence in Cardiff Bay, first with its political unit based in the Senedd Assembly building. In January 2009 the BBC National Orchestra of Wales officially opened its new home, Hoddinott Hall at the Wales Millennium Centre. BBC Wales management is currently considering whether the needs of the digital age would be best served by redeveloping the forty year old premises or moving to a new location.[2] Location Broadcasting House is located in the Llandaff area of northern Cardiff, near the River Taff. It is close to Danescourt railway station and served by Cardiff Bus services 2 (City Circle), 24 (Llandaff/City Centre), 25 (Whitchurch) and 33 (Radyr).[3][4] Programming Television programmes produced at Broadcasting House Cardiff include BBC Wales Today, Newyddion, Doctor Who, Doctor Who Confidential, Torchwood, The Chatterley Affair, Pobol y Cwm, Belonging, High Hopes, Satellite City and The District Nurse. It was announced in March 2009 that the BBC will move the filming of shows such as Casualty and Crimewatch to the studios in Cardiff.[5] Tours Tours of the BBC Wales Broadcasting House are available and last about 1.5 hours. Visits are available into the TV and radio studios and along the set of Pobol y Cwm.
