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?
