Originally broadcast three times a week for 15 minutes (except during school summer holidays),Ffeil was later broadcast live for four and a half minutes every weekday afternoon throughout the year at 4:50pm, from the BBC's Broadcasting House inLlandaff,Cardiff. The programme was transmitted from Studio C2, the second largest studio in Broadcasting House. Following a relaunch in Spring 2012,Ffeil broadcast as part of S4C'sStwnsh strand on Mondays to Fridays from a smaller presentation studio at 5:00pm during term-time.
