Rejected petition Create a national English language television channel for Wales
While S4C does occasionally broadcast programmes in English, ultimately it is a Welsh language channel and as a result, apart from the Welsh versions of the BBC and ITV channels, there’s no national independent English language TV channel in Wales, for Wales. A channel of this kind would help develop the currently very small Welsh media sector and allow Wales to create and broadcast content in English separate from the BBC and ITV.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Broadcasting is not (currently) devolved. https://research.senedd.wales/research-articles/exploring-the-devolution-of-broadcasting/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
