A national campaign has been launched to save S4C as the Welsh language broadcaster faces major budget cuts. The campaign is called #LoveS4C and is being spearheaded by pressure group Cynghrair Cymunedau Cymraeg / Alliance of Welsh Language Communities, formed after the UK Government announced a 26% cut in its grant to
the Welsh language channel despite a manifesto promise to protect its
budget.
The Government confirmed a cut in 2010 to its grant to S4C of 94% over four years from £101m in 2010-11 down to £7m in 2014/15. Chancellor George Osborne announced the money S4C receives will be further cut from £6.7m to £5m by 2019. A rally was performed on November 28th and a signature's petition is already online.
