Wales Tonight is the flagship news programme in the ITV Wales region. Formerly known as HTV News and ITV Wales News, it broadcasts at 6pm every weeknight. Like all ITV plc regional news programmes, it uses the generic ITV font and idents.
All news bulletins are broadcast live from ITV Wales's studios at Culverhouse Cross on the Western outskirts of Cardiff. ITV Wales also has regional newsrooms in Colwyn Bay, Newtown and Carmarthen, along with a political unit at the National Assembly of Wales in Cardiff Bay. Weather forecasts are produced from Cardiff on most weekdays and from ITV Central in Birmingham at weekends.
