Editing S4C (section)

===Later history===
S4C faced an ''[[annus horribilis]]'' in 2010. Future prospects for the channel were seen with little optimism, owing to the change in the DCMS funding method, with S4C receiving £100 million, attached to the [[Retail Price Index]]. In 2013, it was announced that the DCMS would cut S4C's funding by around 93%. The funding hasn't exceeded the £100 million benchmark since then, with S4C reporting £74.5 million from the license fee in the 2020–21 fiscal year, and £6.851 from the DCMS. In 2022, the DCMS stopped funding S4C, freezing license fee contributions until 2024. This was considered to be an "existential threat" to the Welsh language from Professor Richard Wyn Jones.<ref name="BFW"/>

As with other public broadcasters, S4C is facing the challenge of adapting to an increasingly mobile generation of viewers, coupled with competition from streaming services.<ref name="BFW"/>
