Cymdeithas demand Welsh language provision for local television.

Following the announcement that Carmarthen and Bangor are among the 66 locations throughout the countries of Britain where bids will be invited to provide local television, Cymdeithas yr Iaith has demanded that proper provision for Welsh language broadcasting should be written into the licenses from the start.Cymdeithas Chair in Carmarthenshire, Sioned Elin said:"We need to avoid the problems that were caused in local radio such as Radio Carmarthenshire, where the authorities were unable to insist upon an adequate level of Welsh language broadcasting. It must be understood from the very beginning in places like Carmarthen and Bangor that at least half the the programmes should be in Welsh."
