TWW (Television Wales & the West)
Independent television service in the UK that initially provided the seven day service for South Wales and the West of England between 1957 and 1964. When WWN / Teledu Cymru collapsed financially in 1964 after just two years, TWW took over the franchise, including Teledu Cymru, for West & North Wales, and thus assumed the franchise for Wales & the West of England.
After the 1967 franchise review, TWW lost the licence to Harlech Television (HTV).
