Ralïo, the S4C programme which follows the FIA World Rally Championship across 16 countries and 5 Continents, will broadcast its 50th programme during Wales Rally GB – this year’s WRC finale. And to celebrate its golden anniversary, Ralïo will broadcast nightly bulletins for the first time – bringing the very latest news from the forests of south, mid and west Wales to viewers during the event on Friday 30th November to Sunday 2nd December.
Now in its fourth season, Ralïo is broadcast in Welsh, with English subtitles available, on S4C and digital channel, S4C digidol, which is available outside Wales on Sky Channel 134. The coverage will also be available on-line on broadband in the UK via the S4C website, s4c.co.uk. 

The popular Ralïo series is produced by Llanelli-based TV company P.O.P. 1, part of the Tinopolis Group of companies, and presented by Lowri Morgan and Emyr Penlan. The highlights programmes, broadcast on Thursday nights in the week immediately after each WRC stage, features highlights from the British Rally Championship and other British rallying events, as well as the WRC.

“I can't believe that Wales Rally GB will be our fiftieth programme, says Emyr. ”There are so many rally fans in Wales, Ralïo was always going to be a popular programme, but being described as 'the best rally programme on earth' by Motorsport News was a real bonus. Having worked in TV for some time now, I've come across many primadonas. However, working with rally drivers and their teams is a breath of fresh air. They are approachable, unassuming and the access that we are allowed during filming is quite unbelievable.”

“I have always been involved in sport, but had no background in motorsport prior to working on Ralïo,” says Lowri. “However, having had first hand experience over the years, I quickly came to admire the determination and dedication of the drivers and their fantastic teams. You also can't help but get involved in their success and failures. Reporting on such an exciting, emotional and global sport, and being part of a great team, makes me realise how fortunate I am. I can't believe it's been four years. Time flies when you're having fun!”
