S4C Chairman Retires
The Chair of the S4C Authority, John Walter Jones has written to Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt to confirm his decision to retire.
Walter Jones confirmed that he has now decided to stand down with immediate effect and the Culture Secretary said that he is grateful to John Walter Jones for the work he has done for the Authority over the last six years and that the appointment process for a successor will begin shortly.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of State has also asked the S4C Authority to clarify the interim arrangements they will put in place to ensure leadership at this important time for the broadcaster.
He said that he will need to be satisfied that S4C can continue to deliver its remit effectively.
One of the first tasks of the incoming Chair will be to review the current organisational strategy of S4C to ensure they are best placed to deliver high quality Welsh language broadcasting.
It is expected that a wider review on how best to deliver Welsh Language Broadcasting over the long term will take place towards the end of this Parliament after the BBC and S4C have had an opportunity to develop ways of working.
