The launch of BBC Wales on 9 February 1964 provided a specific television service for the country. The new service was heavily promoted (proclaiming that ''Wales gets its very own TV service in 1964!'') with animated promos using the sound of Welsh choirs to explain about interference from the mountains. Two years later in 1966, BBC Cymru Wales' new headquarters at Broadcasting House in Cardiff opened and the first colour broadcast for Wales followed in 1970.

Prior to 1982, BBC Cymru Wales on television provided programmes in both English and Welsh, with the news programme '' Heddiw'' and the long-running serial ''

'' figuring among the key output. However, this changed with the launch of S4C on 1 November 1982 as all Welsh-language programming on both the BBC and the ITV contractor HTV was transferred to the new channel. As part of a guaranteed ten hours a week of BBC-produced programming, ''Pobol y Cwm'' switched to the new channel while a newly expanded news service, ''Newyddion'', was launched. Into the late 1990s, BBC Cymru Wales continued to expand their services. The first web pages for Wales began to appear on
