Just days after being given the effective go-ahead by Ofcom to cut their programming, ITV have announced cuts to nearly half their jobs, cutting 430 from their 1,075 staff.
At ITV Wales, one in seven jobs are to go - with 17 going from the 130 staff.
As warned last week, these cuts will inevitably impact on broadcast journalism in Wales, and especially on political coverage.
The National Union of Journalists have not ruled out industrial action, and I'm sure that Plaid will be fighting their corner - not just for their jobs, but for the coverage of current affairs in Wales.
