Description: Sianel Pedwar Cymru. Channel specific to Wales. Two versions of the channel exist: on analogue television, the channel ... more
S4C ... is bilingual (Welsh and English), with most English language programming being rebroadcast from Channel 4 (analogue reception of which is unavailable to the vast majority of Wales); on digital television (via which Welsh viewers can also receive Channel 4), S4C provides an entirely Welsh language service known as S4C Digidol (S4C Digital).

Newest Review: ... point, Channel 4 is in English! When i'm in university, All I can get is S4C. I don't speak Welsh so most of it I can't watch and when they do show great shows like Angel, they are usually on in the early hours of the morning, which means I can't watch them. So having S4C and not being able to get Channel 5, means i've only really got 3 channels. It would be better if ... more

Express Review on S4C

World Rally Championship - Advantages: Great coverage of events, Instant feedback on each read, Gives viewers all the facts and figures over weekend's event - Disadvantages: Programme scheduled far to late for majority of people. Scheduling this event after programmes such as 'Eurotrash' won't maximise S4C's viewing ratings. , Rally followers who can't or won't stay up late are forced to explore other alternatives - Digital or Sky!, S4C are losing many viewers due to poor scheduling of this event. Wales is full of rally enthusiasts, its one of our national sports, therefore why can't you programme this event at the same time as Channel 4, or at least before 12 midnight

Yes, I do hate S4C. Dont get me wrong, being a Welsh person myself the idea of a national welsh only channel is great, and I'm not a great fan of the English Channel 4 either. But thats the main point, Channel 4 is in English! When i'm in university, All I can get is S4C. I don't speak Welsh so most of it I can't watch and when they do show great shows like Angel, they are usually on in the early hours of the morning, which means I can't watch them.

S4C is a channel which is picked up in Wales, or on Sky Digital, or NTL (I think you can get it on all digital packages). Its not just pronounced as S four C. Oh no, to be correct you have to say it as: "S pedwar ec" Becuase four isnt 4 in Welsh after all!! :P Neither do you pronounce C as "see" in Welsh, its "ec" (sort of, although you cant really spell the alphabet can you?!) If you cant speak welsh, then dont fear, teletext is a great invention! Neither my mum or dad can speak Welsh, so they watch the occassional programme on S4C with the aid of sub-titles. Fortuantely I can speak and ...  Read the complete review

S4C is a channel which can only be picked up in Wales, UK (I think). It has a lot of programmes in Welsh which is good for the Welsh speakers in Wales, but as I can't speak Welsh even though Im Welsh it's no good for me. S4C is probably my favourite terrestrial TV channel though, as it has lots of good programmes like The Big Breakfast is on every weekday morning 7 until 9. On Sunday mornings we are treated to a helping of Dawsons Creak acompanied by the Hollyoaks omnibus. S4c shows a good selection of films, and also some good adult films in the evenings :o) All in all, S4C is a good TV channel and well worth watching. ...  Read the complete review

Still plays some good music Plays a lot of tat as wellPremium rate phone numbers to request trackAdverts

The game shows they do show Some shows you want added to the list they offer

A great independent channel service, preserved old Thames favourites, bought in fresh new programmes, kept up with the times and has a bright sparkly image Being an independent station, don't expect 'paid' quality programming as that offered by the BBC or Sky etc.

Great channel if you are into the Arts You have to pay seperately to receive this channel

Choice and variety! NO live sport :(

cartoons but not as good as other channels
