TAC, the trade body for independent TV production companies in Wales, today responded to the confirmation that Delyth Evans had been appointed the new Chair of S4C, following a pre-appointment hearing with the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee.

Llyr Morus, Chair of TAC, said:

“We welcome the appointment of Delyth Evans as the new Chair of S4C. Delyth’s experience will be a great benefit and we welcome her comments to the Welsh Affairs Committee acknowledging our sector’s important work in providing a wide range of high-quality content for S4C.

This has been a time of change for S4C and we recognise the important work of the Interim Chair, Guto Bebb, over the past months and thank him for his liaison with our sector.

We are glad a new full-time Chair is now in place as S4C and our sector look to meet media industry challenges and to engage in the debate on the future of the TV Licence Fee, which is of course the source of all of S4C’s public funding.

We also welcome the other S4C Board members, including former TAC Chair Dyfrig Davies.

We look forward to working with Delyth Evans and the S4C team in the context of our training partnership with S4C, which so far has delivered 134 courses with 1895 registrations.”
