Are there any Welsh-language programmes on S4C?
In addition, some Welsh-language programmes, including Newyddion and Pobol y Cwm, are produced by BBC Wales as part of the BBC’s public service remit, and provided to S4C free of charge. English-language programmes – mainly from Channel 4 – are broadcast on S4C’s analogue channel during the day and late at night, when Welsh programming has ended.
What is the S4C channel?
S4C is a Welsh language television channel. We transmit live between 6 in the morning and late at night. It is also possible to watch our programmes and videos on other digital platforms at times that suit you. There is a very wide range of programmes on S4C including news, drama, documentaries, music, entertainment and children programmes.
Will there ever be a Welsh-language fourth channel?
Both the Conservative and Labour Parties promised a Welsh-language fourth channel if elected to government in the 1979 general election. Shortly after the Tories won, the new Home Secretary William Whitelaw decided against a Welsh fourth channel.
How much does S4C pay for Newyddion?
In 2007 it received £94m of funding. In addition, some Welsh-language programmes, including Newyddion and Pobol y Cwm, are produced by BBC Wales as part of the BBC’s public service remit, and provided to S4C free of charge.
Why did S4C change the default language from English to Welsh?
This is because S4C have reversed the language streams via satellite as Welsh speakers were complaining that they had English commentaries - due to the fact that the boxes had English as the default language. (It saved them having to explain how to change the language to Welsh).
Should S4C close and other Welsh PSBs carry Welsh programming?
If S4C has so few viewers that its service is not viable, then it should be closed and the other Welsh PSBs be made to carry Welsh language programming. How does S4C broadcasting in English fulfil its obligation to bring wider use of the Welsh language to Wales?
Where can I find suitable Welsh language programmes to watch?
Welsh learners will now find it easier to find suitable Welsh language programmes to watch, thanks to a new online channel launched by S4C and the National Centre for Learning Welsh. The new service, called ‘ Sianel Dysgu Cymraeg ’ (Learn Welsh Channel) is part of S4C’s online, on-demand service, ‘S4C Clic’.
Will there be a new S4C programme about learning in Wales?
S4C already broadcasts programmes for Welsh learners, including a dedicated news programme, every Sunday morning. There is digital ‘short-form’ content available for beginners and plans are underway for a new, original series about learners to be broadcast in the spring.
Where does the money for S4C come from?

How long will S4C funding be guaranteed?
The UK contribution is guaranteed until 2020, but from 2022 S4C funding will be decided in the licence fee settlement. S4C chairman Huw Jones said he welcomed the governments wish to secure S4Cs funding stability for the long term.
Does the BBC support S4Cs push to fund the channels audiences?
The BBC continues to support the view set out by S4C last year - in its strategic review, Pushing the Boundaries - that the channel and its audiences are best served by a funding model based on a plurality of funding sources, he said. We have always believed this plurality is an important principle that should be safeguarded, not cast aside.
