Committee to explore the impact of changes on traditional broadcasting in Wales.

Senior leaders from S4C, ITV Cymru Wales, and BBC Cymru Wales will give evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee as MPs hold their second evidence session exploring the future of broadcasting in Wales.

The Committee will question witnesses on the current broadcasting landscape and how changes, such as the rise of on-demand services and subscriptions, are affecting traditional broadcasting. They are also likely to examine the coverage of Welsh politics and sports, and the prominence given to the Welsh language in broadcasts.

Television remains the primary news source for people in Wales, with 74% of adults across Wales still using TV to access news, higher than the percentage using websites/apps or radio. Television channels offering Welsh and English content, such as BBC Cymru Wales, ITV Cymru Wales, and S4C, have faced financial cuts over the past years.

The evidence session will be broadcast live in Welsh.
