BBC Wales is set to create six new jobs with the introduction of a new online Welsh language service.

The service, called Cymru Fyw, will include a live blog stream, opinion articles and features, and the latest news stories from across Wales. The site will also serve as a platform for other topical BBC products available in Welsh, such as BBC Radio Cymru and Welsh language TV programmes available on BBC iPlayer.

Cymru Fyw, which translates as 'Wales Live' in English, is due to be launched in the next few months and will be piloted for an initial period of two years.
