Book Description
This report was prompted by a high degree of concern amongst Welsh MPs about the cuts being undertaken by ITV Wales, particularly in relation to news output and current affairs. Because of the sustained drop in advertising revenue for television, it seems inevitable that there will be further cuts in output unless alternative finance can be made available. This has raised considerable concern about the potential lack of diversity in the provision of television news in English for an audience in Wales. At present the BBC provides a wide range of news and current events programmes on radio and on television in English, complemented by television programming from S4C and radio broadcasting by BBC Radio Cymru for the Welsh speaking audience. But it seems probable that viewers will effectively have no choice in English language television news broadcasting in Wales from 2010, largely because of the financial difficulties facing ITV. There is a deficit in the broadcasting of non-news television programmes for an English speaking audience in Wales. Again the BBC and S4C provide a range of quality programming for the 20 per cent of the population who speak Welsh, but the outlook for locally-produced and locally-focussed programming other than that broadcast by the BBC is bleak for the 80 per cent English speaking audience in Wales. The Government must urgently consider the lack of specifically Welsh broadcasting services for English-speakers in Wales, and identify ways to address the shortfall.

Book Description
This sociolinguistic perspective on Wales takes account of both principal languages, in contemporary life and in history. It traces the conflicts and mutual influences of the two languages in shaping the sociolinguistic character of Wales and traces the way in which it has simultaneously come to function, for many Welsh people, as a vehicle for cultural continuity, the means to an Anglo-Welsh identity.
