Hywel Gwynfryn
Hywel Gwynfryn (born 13 July 1942 at Llangefni, Anglesey) is a Wales, Welsh TV, and radio personality and lyricist. He started working for the BBC in 1964 and joined Radio Cymru at its inception. Career Gwynfryn joined the BBC as a presenter in 1964 and in October 1968, he fronted ''Helo Sut Dach Chi?'', the first dedicated Welsh language pop programme on the radio. It was a daring innovation because there was little vocal pop music in Welsh at the time and the show sometimes needed to be padded out with Anglo-American instrumentals. Soon however, Gwynfryn was receiving demo tapes from across Wales, and introduced a "patter" of Welsh language pop slang in the show which appealed to younger listeners. In 1970 he joined Children's Programming and worked on documentaries from different parts of the world. He has been with the Welsh-language radio station Radio Cymru since its inception in 1977, fronting the flagship morning programme, and presenting shows such as ''Hywel a Nia'' and ...

BBC Television
BBC Television is a service of the BBC. The corporation has operated a public broadcast television service in the United Kingdom, under the terms of a royal charter, since 1927. It produced television programmes from its own studios from 1932, although the start of its regular service of television broadcasts is dated to 2 November 1936.
