"TAKE THEM TO COURT" (say the bells of ....)
Welsh-language broadcaster S4C says it is to
challenge the UK government in court, over
plans to hand its funding over to the BBC.
The channel's managing board says it is launching
a judicial review of the government's decision to
“effectively merge” it with the BBC.
Their announcement comes after Chancellor George
Osborne tells the Commons that the BBC will now
"part-fund" S4C.
“It would have a disastrous impact on viewers
across Wales at a time when the BBC has already
cut spending on both English and Welsh-language
programming in Wales,” chair John W Jones says.
"Under such an arrangement it is inevitable that
Welsh language television would have to compete
with every other BBC service, and the S4C
Authority believes that this would pose a
serious risk to the provision of Welsh-language
television," he adds.
"I am astounded at the contempt that the London
government has shown, not just towards S4C, but
also towards the Welsh people, and indeed, the
language itself."
