We like a challenge. As if covering Wales’ Six Nations curtain-raiser against England wouldn't have kept us busy enough, we're currently working hard behind the scenes to launch the brand new Good Morning Wales this Friday too.
The trails have been made, the photos taken and the new jingles recorded. Friday will see Louise Elliott and Oliver Hides debut as Good Morning Wales' new five day a week presenter team, with the brilliant Felicity Evans and Mai Davies moving to Good Evening Wales.
And as well as changes in the way the programme sounds, you'll also notice some changes in the way we'll tell stories too. The new Good Morning Wales will find new ways to get to the bottom of those important but difficult to engage with stories. Particularly important with a General Election coming up.
We're excited. Tune in and tell us what you think.
2015 sees the tenth anniversary of Wales winning the Grand Slam for the first time since the 1970s. And the 2005 Slam gets much of our attention this week. It started, coincidentally, with an 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium. Two veterans of that game, Tom Shanklin and Hal Luscombe, guide us through every moment of that victory - right up to the winning penalty from Gavin "Silverboots" Henson - on Radio Wales Sport.
I'm sure there will be reflections on that game, as well as other great Six Nations encounters with the old enemy on Good Morning Wales all week, and on a special simulcast with 5 Live - presented by Matt Dawson and Dot Davies - on Thursday night's Radio Wales Sport.
And where were you when we beat Ireland to finally win that Grand Slam a decade ago? If you'd been waiting 27 years and thinking it might never happen again, you'd know. That's the subject of a special hour-long documentary on Friday at midday called Grand Slam Day. In it we’ll hear from the people on the pitch, in the bars, even those waiting for a break down truck to arrive as they listened to it on the radio. It's a hell of a tale.
A magic moment in Welsh rugby
So that's at midday. Between 1 and 7pm Wynne Evans, Good Evening Wales, and Chris Corcoran are all live from Westgate Street. Then we're live at the Millennium Stadium for live coverage of Wales versus England (build up starts at 7, the match at 8.05) with your chance to Call Rick O'Shea afterwards through til 11pm.
And you can sign our Happy Six Nations Day card. We're collecting good luck messages this week, before presenting the card to Warren Gatland's men on Thursday.
As the TV and radio promos say, the Six Nations is a time to get together. I hope you'll spend this tournament with us.
Elsewhere this week, we're delighted to welcome Merthyr born cook, Michela Chiappa to BBC Radio Wales. Michela starts her four part story of the Valleys' Welsh-Italian communities this Saturday by speaking to the Italians who arrived in the 1950s and asking why they fell in love with the place. Michela Chiappa's Welsh-Italian Way is on Saturday at 1.30.
Rhondda born Beth Goudie is the Radio Wales Artist of the Week this week. You can the new single, Jeanie, across the station. And Beth was in session with Eleri Sion on Wednesday.
Talking of sessions, if you haven't heard Wales' next big thing, Pretty Vicious, yet, then they were in session with Bethan Elfyn last Saturday. And if you know someone who will be hot on the heels of the Merthyr band, then now's the time to nominate them to become one of the next 12 acts championed by BBC Wales and Arts Council of Wales' Horizons scheme. Nominations close next Monday so best get your skates on and apply now.
Finally, the latest in Jason Mohammad’s Welsh leader interviews happens on Thursday at 12 with Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood taking your calls.
Happy Six Nations Week
Steve
