Consultation display

The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee held an inquiry into the future of S4C.

The Committee looked at the following issues:

• What sufficient funding for the channel looks like. For example, who should provide it, and how should it be calculated – should it be linked to a formula? How should this be supplemented with revenue raised by S4C?
• What S4C’s statutory remit should be. Is its current remit fit for a contemporary broadcaster, and if not, how should it change? How should it reflect the digital role of a modern broadcaster?
• What governance and accountability structures S4C should have in place. For example, should responsibility for S4C be devolved to Wales?
• What S4C’s relationship with the BBC should look like.
• The visibility of S4C: covering issues such as S4C’s prominence on the electronic programme guide and smart TVs.
