However, questions remain over how public service broadcasters like S4C are funded. <\/p>\n
Since 2022, all of S4C’s public funding has come from the licence fee, an arrangement set to continue until at least March 2028. <\/p>\n
S4C also receives around \u00a37.5m a year of additional funding from the UK government, which will rise with inflation. <\/p>\n
In its annual report, the broadcaster said it needed to evolve from being a traditional Public Service Broadcaster to a Public Service Media Publisher.<\/p>\n
It also explained how it needs to move from “linear or digital” considerations, in order to commission content for distribution across a multiple platforms. <\/p>\n
Geraint Evans, S4C’s Chief Executive, said it was a “privilege” to deliver his first report after a year of enhancing viewer services, growing digital presence, and “reinforced our internal identity and ways of working”.<\/p>\n
