	Welsh language - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Welsh language
		Spoken by 18.7% of the Welsh population, it is the strongest of the surviving Celtic languages.
		Welsh has been in decline in the face of English expansion since the accession of the Welsh Henry Tudor (as Henry VII) to the throne of England in 1485.
		According to a survey, in 1995 21% of the Welsh population spoke the national tongue; of that number, it was the mother tongue of 55%.

		S4C (Sianel Pedwar Cymru - 'Channel Four Wales') is a Welsh-language television channel broadcasting in Wales, United Kingdom, which was established in response to demands for a channel to cater for the Welsh-speaking minority population in Wales.
		It is the equivalent of Channel 4, which broadcasts to the rest of the United Kingdom.
		S4C is controlled by the Welsh Fourth Channel Authority (Awdurod Sianel Pedwar Cymru in Welsh), an independent body unconnected to the bodies which regulate the other UK television channels such as the BBC, ITV, or Channel 4.

		It is the equivalent of Channel 4, which broadcasts to the rest of the UnitedKingdom.
		This was not only unsatisfactory for Welsh speakers, who saw them as a sop, but alsoan annoyance of the non-Welsh-speaking community which found the English programmes seen in the rest of the UK often rescheduledor not transmitted at all.

		S4C (Sianel Pedwar Cymru - 'Channel Four Wales') is a Welsh language television channel broadcasting in Wales, United Kingdom, which was established in response to demands for a channel tocater for the Welsh-speaking minority population in Wales.
		Previously Welsh speakers had beenserved by occasional programmes in Welsh broadcast as regional opt-outs on BBC Wales and HTV (the ITV station inWales), often at obscure times.
		During the 1970s, Welsh language activists had campaigned for a TV service in the language, which already had its own radiostation BBC Radio Cymru.This led to acts of civil disobedience, including refusals to pay the television licence, thereby running the risk of prosecution or even a prison sentence, and sit-ins inBBC and HTV studios.

		Welsh language programming began on ITV in 1956 with Granada, which produced up to an hour a week of current affairs and education programmes to serve the overlap audience in north Wales.
		Additionally, pride in the nation and its culture meant that the local news of Wales in Welsh was of the same standard as the ITN news.
		Welsh programmes (with a chapter in both languages) are mentioned in every yearbook until the creation of S4C took them out of the IBA's hands (S4C is regulated by the Welsh Fourth Channel Authority, rather than the IBA's successor, the ITC).

	A channel for Wales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Whilst Welsh speakers may have sought out programming in their own language, they kept the same hours as the rest of the population, and being a Welsh speaker did not realistically mean you were home from work before 5pm.
		In short order, the Welsh Fourth Channel Authority was set up, with a generous stipend from the UK government’s secretary of state for Wales, and the plans for the new fourth channel were put in place.
		The IBA, despite having no say in the new channel, were asked to concentrate their resources on Wales, so that some of the smallest relays in the principality were given capacity for the channel even before some of the main transmitters of ITV were prepared.

	S4C - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		S4C Digidol is an exclusively Welsh language service (S4C Digital), broadcast by S4C within Wales on DTT and throughout the UK on digital satellite broadcasts.
		The channel is available in the UK on Freeview in Wales and nationwide on Sky Digital.
		One benefit of DTT in Wales is that Channel 4 can now be broadcast alongside S4C, thereby placating disgruntled English speakers who have often had to put up with Channel 4 programmes aired hours or days later on S4C.

	Wales
		Welsh television is currently comprised of BBC-1 Wales and BBC-2 Wales, the independent television (ITV) commercial franchise holder, Harlech Television (HTV Wales), and Sianel Pedwar Cymru ([S4C] Channel Four Wales), the Welsh equivalent of Britain's commercial Channel Four.
		Welsh MP's also argued that the seven hours of programming on BBC Wales opened up by the transfer of Welsh-language programs to a fourth channel should be filled with BBC Wales programs in English rather than BBC network material.
		Welsh reaction was swift; at Plaid Cymru's annual conference in October, a fund was established into which supporters opposed to Whitelaw's decision could deposit their television license fee (2,000 protesters pledged support and a number received prison sentences the following spring).

		The Authority takes the view that collective licensing arrangements per se, where actual or potential competitors in the market join together for the collective licensing of their separate services for a global fee to be divided on an agreed basis, restricts competition.
		Clause 5 requires the licensee to allocate a particular channel in the cable network for each programme service and that a minimum uninterrupted 8 hours per 24 hours on the cable channel has to be devoted to broadcasts of each particular service.
		Since the number of channels covered by the agreement is 4 there remains very substantial leeway to accommodate the rapid development of private satellite broadcasting.
