S4C and Local TV (UK)

CM 7180 is now available

"BROADCASTING
An Agreement Between
Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Culture,
Olympics, Media and Sport and
the British Broadcasting Corporation"

This document reveals the funding and governance agreements with special regard to the BBC World Service, the BBC / S4C "partnership", and the development of local TV in the UK.

It makes clear that the BBC will be responsible for funding S4C from 2015, which for those not following the acrid debate in Wales, may be deemed as bad news for the service and the future of Welsh language TV and new media.
