Hacio was produced almost entirely by a young crew of journalists who researched, shot and edited their own material. The material for the programme was often but not always gathered on lightweight DVCAM cameras, typically the Sony DSR-500 or HVR-Z1E, and edited online using desktop editing software called Avid. In 2014 a website for young people was launched in conjunction with the team.[1]
In July 2017, it was reported that the programme had been scrapped as part of a restructuring of S4C's current affairs output.[2] In January 2018, ITV Cymru Wales launched a new current affairs series for the channel, Ein Byd (Welsh for 'Our World').
