BBC Jam, which is the BBC's digital curriculum service, is responsible for not only producing some of that output for the whole of the BBC, but is also producing much of it in the Welsh language.
I do know that the BBC is very exercised and tries very hard in drama, in employment and in factual programmes to be as diverse as its audience and to try and represent its audience faithfully and to reflect back to its audience the reality of who they are.
I would hope that the tone, authority and the fairness at the heart of all BBC's news coverage, which is a pretty core activity of the BBC, is resistant to the tabloid language and the tendency to sensationalise.

 BBC 2W - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The channel name on the Electronic Programme Guide is always BBC 2W although outside its broadcast hours the channel is referred to onscreen as BBC Two Wales, using the BBC Two purple logo.
The first switchoff of analogue television in the UK, for instance, was unsuccessful because viewers in Llansteffan and Ferryside, whose analogue transmitter was due to be switched off, insisted that BBC Two Wales be left broadcasting in analogue.
The bulletin, entitled Wales Today on 2W carries the same titles as that on BBC One and is from the same studio with the same main presenters.

 A better News 24 | Newsdesk
It is fair to say that BBC News 24 has a generally superb service, with a quality that rivals Sky News, whilst the ITV News Channel has some way to go to match either channel.
Overall the viewing figures would seem to indicate that BBC News 24 is one of the more watched news and information channels, which says a lot for the quality of the service.
BBC Local Radio, along with BBC Radios Wales, Scotland and Ulster, do the same kind of job on the nation’s radio dials.

 DOG Watch! - 625.uk.com
BBC Wales, keen to gauge viewer response to its new baby, must have been a little shocked to find that viewers weren't too impressed with the logo that had been slapped on their screens.
When the BBC realised the problem, its solution was not to remove one of the logos, but simply to shift the match graphics from the left- to the right-hand side of the screen, leaving the BBC logo in the centre.
The corporate BBC logo is permanently on screen during trailers for programmes; it pops up during the opening titles of programmes and appears at the end of them too.

BBC 2W transmission of localised programming begins at variable times such as 19:30 tonight and ends at 22:30 when Newsnight starts.
Neither does the BBC logo floating in the corner of Star Trek TNG, or the Good Life, actually add any value what so ever to viewers.
Just to prove that BBC 2W as of 19:28 tonight is not actually BBC Digital content, the continuity announcer made an announcement about "Roswell High" on Sunday, which is exactly the same as network BBC Two.

 BBC Wales Commissioning - Contemporary Documentary Strand - Sgrîn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Buses - was a huge success on 2W: a year in the life of Ferris coaches as they take people to their destinations near and far.
Contemporary documentary series are just that - programmes set in the present and based on actuality, predominantly focussing on individuals and usually filmed over an extended period to allow storylines to develop and achieve some kind of resolution.
Contemporary documentaries on BBC Wales TV can have a range of different impacts: they can shed light on current issues, they can stimulate debate, they can make people laugh, they can sometimes make them cry, but what they all have to do is make them care, and give them a memorable experience.
