icWales - Fears for S4C survival after privatisation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) They are a model based on the status quo, under which S4C receives an annual grant of £86m from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport; absorption within the BBC; and the franchising of the channel to private bidders.

Yet the annual subsidy of £86m to S4C is in fact peanuts when you consider the BBC's taxi bill is £20m. icwales.icnetwork.co.uk /0100news/0200wales/tm_objectid=15151827&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=fears-for-s4c-survival-after-privatisation-name_page.html   (649 words)

News Wales > Media > S4C seeks change in BBC relationship In its response to the Government's review of the BBC's Royal Charter, the S4C authority is calling for the Welsh language channel's unique relationship with the BBC to be revisited in the light of changes which have taken place since it was first established.
