'''''Newyddion S4C''''' (''S4C News'') is a [[Welsh language|Welsh-language]] news programme
==History==
Welsh-language television news on the BBC first aired on 6pm on 16 March 1956. Under the name ''Tele-Newyddion'', this fifteen-minute bulletin was broadcast as an opt-out in the Wenvoe, Sutton Coldfield and Holme Moss transmitters, in the style of a newsreel, presenting news items from the past weeks at the time of broadcast.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/6c298da3896542f89e30b6983ff995d4|title=BBC Programme Index|date=16 March 1956|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>
Before S4C started broadcasting in November 1982, ''Newyddion'' was seen as a five-minute regional opt-out programme on BBC One, usually broadcast around 7:00 pm,<ref>https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?order=-last&filt=bbc_one&q=Newyddion {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref> where it replaced programmes in the schedule such as ''[[Tomorrow's World]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_one_london/1982-09-30|title=Schedule - BBC Programme Index|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> The first ''Newyddion'' on [[BBC One Wales]] was broadcast on 2 August 1971 at 18:55<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/df5e943dc2e87602104fbdabc39710fc|title=BBC Programme Index|date=2 August 1971|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> with the last BBC One Wales bulletin seen on 29 October 1982 at 7:00pm, as S4C launched the following Monday.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/737690652386bca8c231b4d14d2cf5bb|title=BBC Programme Index|date=29 October 1982|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> In addition to the five-minute bulletin, there was a longer programme, ''[[Heddiw]]''.
When S4C was being created, both BBC Cymru Wales and HTV Wales bid for the provision of a news service. In 1981 HTV withdrew from the bid, causing BBC Cymru Wales to win by default.<ref name="BFW">Elain Price. Broadcasting for Wales: The Early Years of S4C Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2022.</ref>
In 2020, S4C launched a digital version of the Newyddion service, employing its own journalists and producing original stories, that would be repackaged for the television bulletin.<ref name="BFW"/>
