UK rejects Welsh push for formal role in S4C chair appointments, maintaining current process.
The UK government has declined calls from the Senedd’s culture committee to give Welsh lawmakers a formal role in appointing S4C’s chair, stating no changes to the current process are planned.
Media minister Ian Murray emphasized that broadcasting remains a reserved power, with a UK-wide regulatory framework providing economies of scale and supporting Welsh production.

Murray cited a 2011 agreement ensuring consultation on S4C and BBC board roles, affirming that existing arrangements have functioned effectively.
