Hacio

Hacio is a Welsh language current affairs television programme for young people which has been broadcast since 2000. It is produced by ITV Cymru Wales and broadcast on Tuesday nights on S4C and aims to address issues and illustrate stories of interest to young people from all parts of Wales and beyond. Hacio is produced almost entirely by a young crew of journalists who research, shoot and edit their own material. The material for the programme is often but not always gathered on lightweight DVCAM cameras, typically the Sony DSR-500 or HVR-Z1E, and edited on-line using desktop editing software called Avid. Several Hacio "graduates" have used the skills gained on the programme to their advantage and have moved on to higher profile programmes such as Y Byd ar Bedwar and programmes made by other, national broadcasters such as the BBC.
