Vincent Kane
Vincent Kane, OBE, is a Welsh broadcaster and writer, and the Chairman of the Wales Quality Centre, the International Festival of Musical Theatre and the Cardiff Initiative.

Kane is best known for his work as a presenter and interviewer in BBC Wales television programmes such as Wales Today, Week In Week Out and on radio in Good Morning Wales and Meet For Lunch (BBC Radio Wales). He has been called "the Jeremy Paxman of Wales" because of his searching interview techniques, though he was already a well-known figure in Wales before Paxman made his name on national television. Kane began as a reporter on Wales Today in 1962, and went on to host Week In Week Out, a weekly current affairs series that focused on a particular issue each week. He returned to host Wales Today from 1986 to 1993, and eventually left BBC Wales in 1998.
