The Government is committed to ensuring a strong and sustainable broadcasting system in all parts of the UK. Ministers meet regularly with the BBC and S4C to discuss a range of issues. The BBC and S4C are operationally and editorially independent of government. The future of BBC Cymru Wales is a matter for the BBC.

Both the BBC and S4C are regulated by Ofcom.
