Concerns over delayed appointments at S4C and BBC (nation.cymru)

Concerns are mounting within the Welsh broadcasting industry about a delay in appointing a new Chair of S4C and the fact that Wales no longer has a representative on the main BBC board.

April 11 at 7pm was supposed to be the deadline for applications for the S4C post – but about an hour before the deadline was reached, it was extended by a fortnight until April 25.

Meanwhile, Dame Elan Closs Stephens ceased to be Wales’ member of the BBC Board when her term came to an end in March. So far, there has been no sign of an announcement about her successor.

A Welsh broadcasting industry insider said: “There is no explanation, but I think that it is fair to surmise that they haven’t got any applicants that they consider to be suitable.

“Incidentally, the interim Chair Guto Bebb, [the former Tory MP for Aberconwy] has told BBC Radio Cymru that he would not be applying for the full-time position.
