  • BBC Wales, Management Review, 2009/10
    WALES MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2009/10 a INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES IN A YEAR WHEN DIGITAL SWITCHOVER SWEPT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ROLE OF WALES’ nATIONAL BROADCASTER HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER. Some said that digital switchover would change everything. By beaming countless additional channels into every home across Wales, some warned it would accelerate the fragmentation of viewing, weakening the social and civic ties that bind us together. And yet take a look at what actually happened. In 2009/10, almost a million viewers – the highest figures for at least five years – tuned into BBC Cymru Wales programming each and every week. On top of this success, our network output continued to attract worldwide attention, including Torchwood’s stunning debut on BBC One and BBC Two’s captivating Last Chance to See. That success is of course a tribute to the skills and resilience of our talented production teams – both in-house and across the independent sector – and many of their achievements are rightly “ THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF captured in this review. OUR AUDIENCE’S DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY AND Our success this year is a powerful reminder that in an age of apparent digital plenty – with all its countless distractions – our audience’s demand for high quality and distinctive national programming DISTINCTIVE NATIONAL PROGRAMMING.” is as strong and robust as ever. MENNA RICHARDS, It is, needless to say, a challenge and responsibility we relish. DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES Menna Richards COVER IMAGE Director, BBC Cymru Wales Presenter Eddie Butler tells the story of a 5th or early 6th century carved sandstone, part of a trail of historical objects inspired by our History of the World project, and which can be seen at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.

  • 1 Written Response by the Welsh Government to The
    Written Response by the Welsh Government to the report of the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee – The Big Picture: The Committee’s Initial Views on Broadcasting in Wales We welcome the findings and offer the following response to the recommendations in the report. Detailed Responses to the report’s recommendations are set out below: Recommendation 1 We recommend that the BBC Director General should provide an additional £30 million annually for English language drama and broadcasting about Wales. Response: Accept in Principle On 21 February the BBC announced that BBC Cymru Wales will receive additional budget for programming, and will launch some new services. Some increased budget will be available in 17/18, rising to the full additional increase of £8.5m by 19/20. This will be available to commissioners to deliver new English language programming for Wales, an increase of at least 50% over the budget they currently have available. The Welsh Government welcomed this announcement which will enable BBC Cymru Wales to commission more programmes that truly reflect the lives of people in Wales. An announcement of additional funding and services for Scotland was made the following day, which has been interpreted by some as more favourable than the award to Wales. The situation and the priorities within the two nations are different however, so direct comparison is not straightforward and of limited value. The creation of a new separate channel will not answer our needs. A separate channel with tiny audiences will not bridge the current information deficit. We need a comprehensive service on all of the BBC’s existing channels and outlets which meet Wales’ needs in news, sport and culture.

  • T&F Inquiry Supplementary Letter 120124
    Media 37a 24 January 2012 Ken Skates AM Chairman, Task and Finish Group on the future of the media in Wales National Assembly for Wales Dear Mr Skates, When the IWA’s Media Policy Group submitted evidence to the Task and Finish Group in November 2011, we had had some difficulty in establishing precise data about the BBC’s output in the nations. We had submitted a request for information to the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act and had a response that still did not give us all the information we sought. We have now received a response to our list of supplementary questions, but even this was not able to provide a full answer. These issues have been raised with the BBC Trust in the response of the IWA’s Wales Media Policy Group to the BBC Trust consultation on its Delivering Quality First document. In that response we recommend that the BBC should take immediate steps to improve the consistency, comparability and transparency of data on output and expenditure within the nations. We believe that the Task and Finish Group and Welsh Government Ministers should press this matter with the BBC Trust. We believe the data below reinforces all the points that we made in our original evidence. In particular, we would draw your attention to . a reduction in the last five years of at least 137 hours (16.2%) in the hours made by BBC Wales for Wales in the English language . the much greater reduction in output for Wales – origination and broadcast hours - when compared with Scotland .

  • How Wales Is Understood in the UK Is a Problem – Strengthening Welsh Media Is Part of the Solution
    How Wales is understood in the UK is a problem – strengthening Welsh media is part of the solution blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/how-wales-is-understood-in-the-uk-is-a-problem/ 4/1/2017 A healthy democracy needs mechanisms that enable citizens to understand the political process and engage in the functioning of politics. But as simple as this may sound, achieving such an understanding is proving a major problem for Wales. Craig Johnson reflects on the broader problems caused by the inadequate reporting of Welsh politics UK-wide. It was recently announced that a new BBC TV channel will broadcast in Scotland from 2018. It will have a budget of £30m, roughly equivalent to that of BBC Four. Alongside that, Scotland will receive more money to make UK-wide programmes. Perhaps the most interesting development is that, included in the new channel’s scheduling is an hour-long news programme, edited and presented from Scotland. This brings with it 80 new journalist posts. Even if viewing figures on the new channel turn out to be low, it will still be a significant boost to Scotland’s journalism. This is great news for Scotland, with BBC Scotland’s Sarah Smith arguing that ‘for those who wanted a news programme reflecting the world from a Scottish perspective, produced and presented from Scotland – the BBC is now delivering what they asked for’. However, it begs the question: what about Wales? Just a day earlier, the BBC announced that an additional £8.5m would be spent in Wales on both news and entertainment English-language programming.
