  Rhondda Cynon Taff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhondda Cynon Taff (Welsh: Rhondda Cynon Tâf) is a county borough in Glamorgan, south Wales.
The district borders Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly to the east, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to the south, Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot to the west and Powys to the north.
Recent decades have shown great improvement with Salmon recorded from the River Taff and the River Rhondda but the continued presence of man-made obstacles in the rivers is inhibiting their return to their pre-industrial condition.

 TV12 anchor Jerry Taff will pull plug on career
Taff, 63, acknowledged his success in one market for so long is extremely unusual in a profession known for its competitiveness and in a smaller TV market like Milwaukee, which is often just a steppingstone for young TV talent.
Taff said he was able to focus on serious, hard news stories because he was not asked to do all the glamor work.
As for Milwaukee TV, Taff said he believes the moment that boosted him in the Milwaukee market was in the late 1970s, when WISN did a series of stories on Kevin Hermening, a Wisconsin man who was one of the hostages being held in the American embassy in Tehran, Iran.
