BBC One Wales is a Welsh television channel owned and operated by BBC Cymru Wales. It is the Welsh variation of the UK-wide BBC One and is broadcast from Central Square in Cardiff. BBC One Wales broadcasts around three hours of non-news programmes for Wales each week alongside six hours a week of national news for Wales from Wales Today.

BBC One Wales branding is utilised between 6 am and around 1 am each day with live continuity handled by a team of national announcer/directors.

A high-definition simulcast of BBC One Wales launched on 29 January 2013 on Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.[1] On 10 December 2013, BBC One Wales HD was swapped with the SD channel on Sky's EPG for HD subscribers.[2]
