BBC Radio Wales broadcaster Nicola Heywood Thomas dies at 67
After leaving HTV, she became closely associated with arts coverage at BBC Wales, as well as working with BBC Radio 3."She anchored Wales at Six for more than 15 years. Thoughts are with all her friends and colleagues tonight".Radio Wales editor, Carolyn Hitt said those at the station were "deeply saddened" by the news of her death.
Ms Hitt said Ms Heywood Thomas had been the voice of arts coverage in Wales for more than 25 years and was "hugely respected and admired"."She was fascinated by performers and artists and the stories behind the work they created, and always looked for imaginative ways to communicate these stories," Ms Hitt said.
"Nicola championed Welsh culture and hated the idea that the arts were some kind of posh pursuit for the elite.""We have been astounded and deeply touched in recent months to witness her dedication to her Radio Wales programmes, even though she was facing such challenging health issues," she said."Wales has lost one of its greatest broadcasters.
