Stwnsh (Welsh for 'Mash', Welsh pronunciation: [stʊnʃ]) is a strand of Welsh-language children's television programming, aimed at children between the ages of seven and thirteen. Stwnsh was launched on Monday 26 April 2010, replacing the former Welsh-language children's strand, Planed Plant (Welsh for 'Children's Planet'). Stwnsh is broadcast on the Welsh-language television channel S4C every weekday, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm, and on Saturdays (as Stwnsh Sadwrn (Welsh for 'Saturday 'Stwnsh'')) from 8:00am to 10:00am.

Programmes

The programmes shown as part of this service include both brand-new programmes and programmes that were previously shown as part of Planed Plant.

Other programmes

The long-running programme Uned 5 (Welsh for 'Unit 5') was scrapped by S4C to make way for Stwnsh service, although the final episode of Uned 5, was not broadcast until Sunday 30 May 2010, just over a month after the launch of the Stwnsh service.
