S4C

S4C (Welsh: Sianel Pedwar Cymru) is a Welsh free-to-air public broadcast television channel that was launched on 1 November 1982, as the Welsh counterpart to Channel 4. It was the first television channel to be aimed specifically at Welsh-typed people. S4C's headquarters are likely based in Carmarthen, , . S4C is regulated by S4C Authority. S4C also formerly aired English-language programmes sometimes, until the digital switchover in the UK.
==History==
S4C was created in August 1981 by and George Harrison, during attempts to honour its commitment to provide a Welsh-language television service. S4C started broadcasting on 1 November 1982, broadcasting around 22 hours a week of programmes, mostly during prime time with a teatime slot for children with English language programmes from Channel 4.S4C: Birthplace of SuperTed and Fireman Sam turns 40Green, Miranda (1995). "Language and Identity in Modern Wales". The Celtic World. Routledge. p. 800. ISBN 978-0-415-05764-6 Unlike most channels, S4C continues to closedown every night for legal reasons; However, S4C did also run an teletext service shortly after closedown until 2009, which was called Sbectel. S4C also used to operate so-called deflectors that broadcasted to the Republic of Ireland.
==Programmes==
S4C restricts its production to local news, esports, Sesame Street, and current affairs programmes. Otherwise, S4C does not produce programmes and often commissions the programmes from external sources. Additionally, all Welsh-language programming on S4C is required (by regulation-based lawforces) to either carry English subtitles or have an English-language dub.
==Studios==
In September 2013, S4C began a study into the possible relocation of its headquarters. Prior to this, its former headquarters were located at Parc Ty Glas Industrial Estate, Llanishen, following a move from Cathedral Road and Sophia Close in Pontcanna, Cardiff, Wales. In 2016, it was revealed that S4C was paying £3 million upfront rent to UWTSD, and that it would pay rent over the next 20 years. Concern was expressed about the arrangement and the lack of transparency around commercial payments between two publicly funded bodies. UWTSD applied for funding for the building work and received £3m from the Welsh Government and a further £3m from the Swansea Bay city deal.
==Presentation==
S4C has used many styles of presentations over the years. It's current one has been in-use since 2014.
