Senior leaders at S4C, ITV Cymru Wales and BBC Cymru Wales will be giving evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee as MPs hold its second evidence session exploring the future of broadcasting in Wales.

Meeting details

At 10:00am: Oral evidence
Inquiry Broadcasting in Wales
CEO at S4C
Director at BBC Cymru Wales
Head of News and Programmes at ITV Cymru Wales

From the role of public service broadcasting to the growth of on-demand and subscription services, MPs will be quizzing witnesses on the current broadcasting landscape and how changes are affecting traditional broadcasting. MPs will also likely explore the coverage of Welsh politics, sports and the offer of Welsh language content.

Television remains the most-used news source for people in Wales. 74% of adults across Wales use television for their news, followed by websites/apps and radio. Television channels that offer audiences both English and Welsh language content, such as BBC Cymru Wales, ITV Cymru Wales and S4C, have been experiencing funding cuts in recent years.

This evidence session will also be broadcast live in the Welsh language.

The Wilson Room, Portcullis House
