Language protestors have occupied the Cardiff offices of the BBC this morning.The campaigners, including the Reverend Guto Prys ap Gwynfor, son of Gwynfor Evans, went into the BBC building while accusing them of acting in an 'undemocratic' way by taking over S4C.Last year, BBC bosses and the Westminster Government agreed that S4C would be licence fee-funded, answerable to the British broadcaster's trustees, with the Government cutting its grant to the channel by 94%.Bethan Williams, Chair of language campaign group, Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg commented:"S4C, the only Welsh language TV channel in the world, is in a critical situation. Its future hangs in the balance, along with the future of the Welsh language. It faces real term cuts of over 40% to its budget; a BBC takeover; and powers in the hands of Westminster Government Ministers hands to abolish it completely. On top of that, the BBC is trying to force a deal on S4C before MPs have voted on the matter - it's completely undemocratic. It's time for the BBC to change its mind."The Government in London is saving 94% of the money it used to pay the channel, a cut that's totally unfair. After 2015, there's no certainty that any money will go to the channel at all. You don't need to look further than the World Service to see what can happen to channels that aren't important to the BBC."The Westminster Government and the BBC in London agreed to a last-minute back-of-the-envelope plan without consulting anyone from Wales. Their joint plan could kill the channel if we don't have the resources to see Welsh language content on the television and the web. We demand that S4C is independent editorially and managerially, with a funding formula in statute to protect the future of this important Welsh language service."It's time for the BBC to make a choice - do they want to continue to act as the poodle of the Government in London or do the right thing for the Welsh language? Following the Tories' wishes, they are trying to take the channel over and run it as a BBC department. That will mean Welsh language programmes will have to compete for money with English language ones for the first time in 30 years. Why are the BBC doing that? Isn't it time the BBC discussed things openly with the public?"
