  • Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee Inquiry on the Impact of Covid-19
    Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee inquiry on the Impact of Covid-19 June 2020 Introduction 1. TAC (Teledwyr Annibynnol Cymru) represents the independent television production sector in Wales. Our sector is a highly important element of the creative industries in Wales and the UK overall, providing economic, social and cultural benefits through supplying creative content. There are around 50 companies in the sector, ranging from sole traders to some of the leading players in the UK production industry. They produce content for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky as well as other commercial broadcasters. They produce almost all of the original television and online media content for the Welsh-language broadcaster S4C, and a variety of radio productions for UK-wide networks. 2. In recent years, Wales’ reputation as a centre of first-class drama production has grown significantly with productions such as 15 Days, Un Bore Mercher / Keeping Faith, Bang, Craith / Hidden and Y Gwyll / Hinterland. Our sector also offers a great deal of expertise in genres such as factual documentary, children’s programmes, sport and entertainment. Overseas programme and format sales have increased, and our members are also experienced in international co-productions. Answers to Specific Committee Questions What has been the immediate impact of Covid-19 on the sector? 3. As with all industries, the TV production sector has faced significant challenges due to the impact of Covid-19 and the introduction of necessary social distancing measures. Productions have been cancelled or postponed and a wide range of programme genres have been affected.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 1 MARCH 7TH, 2016 The birth of a child is always a cause for celebration. For the new parent, it's also a time of uncertainty and anxiety: Am I doing this right? Is THAT normal?? Creating Copper has been pretty much the same for us. There is exhilaration, the excitement of starting something completely new, of charting the course as we go. And of course, there is the desire to do everything perfectly. The first issue of Copper, now before you, requires a little by way of introduction. Copper is dedicated to furthering the art of home audio reproduction, and growing the community that supports it. Whether you call it Hi-Fi, hi-res, or High-End doesn't matter; such labels tend to separate and isolate people, which is exactly what we don't want to do. We'll do our best not to be audio snobs. Any system, technology, or category of product that faithfully reproduces music, honoring its source and intent, qualifies as fair game to us. Vinyl, digital, portable, expensive, inexpensive, new or old: if it makes music, it's of interest to our readers. Copper is not a traditional audio magazine. It is published by a well-established audio manufacturer, and we hope you do buy our products... but that's not the point of this magazine. Copper won't sell or promote products, services, or advertising. Instead, Copper aims to inform, entertain, inspire, motivate and build community. We believe that a diverse, strong, well informed community of like-minded people, sharing ideas, news, and knowledge benefits all.
