Up to 50 jobs could go in Wales as the BBC implements budget cuts, starting in 2025.

BBC Wales said cuts will come from 746 staff members, with 25 to 30 editorial and production roles, and 20 jobs in the operations department set to go.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) called for urgent reconsideration of the cuts saying it would "further hollow out local news provision".

“BBC Wales, like the rest of the corporation is having to make savings to achieve the overall target set out by the director general in March," BBC Cymru Wales director Rhuanedd Richards said in a statement.
