'''BBC Choice Wales''' was the national variation for [[BBC Cymru Wales]] of the [[BBC Choice]] service, that was broadcast by the [[BBC]]. |
|||
As with the local variants of BBC Choice in [[BBC Choice Northern Ireland|Northern Ireland]] and [[BBC Choice Scotland|Scotland]] carried much of its content from the network BBC Choice service originating in London, but split off most evenings for around two hours a night (generally around 10pm to midnight) of local programming to Wales. When the [[EastEnders]] rebroadcast aired at 10pm, local programming would begin at 10.30pm. After around midnight, programming would revert to the network service until closedown. |
|||
The BBC Choice Wales service launched alongside the other BBC Choice variants on 23 September 1998 and ceased on 30 March 2001; it was replaced by a fully networked [[BBC Choice]]. The channel was then itself replaced from 2003 by [[BBC Three]], which has never had any regional variants. None of the BBC's other digital services offer variants (whilst [[BBC One HD]] currently offers a single UK-wide service based on the Network schedule, with local programme out-outs in Scotland, Wales, NI and the English regions currently available in SD only.) |
|||
Following the closure of BBC Choice's regional variants in 2001, [[BBC Two]]'s variants for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were made available to digital viewers (previously a single UK-wide version of BBC Two had been available on digital platforms). |
