Television and radio services have been disrupted after a power cut at BBC Wales' headquarters in Cardiff.

Power was lost in parts of BBC Broadcasting House in Llandaff at about 18:15 BST on Friday evening.

BBC Wales Today was unable to go out at its regular time of 18:30 and BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru fell silent.

The cut lasted for about an hour. BBC Wales said its radio services had been restored on FM and DAB.

Viewers tuning in for Wales Today instead saw BBC Northern Ireland's Newsline.
