EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Communications Act 2003 to provide that the Welsh Authority will, from the first date scheduled for switchover to a digital service in Wales (12 August 2009), no longer have an obligation to provide the analogue service, S4C. The Welsh Authority will have an obligation to provide S4C Digital in digital form, but will have the ability also to provide the analogue service, S4C. This Order also makes amendments to the Broadcasting Act 1996 and the Broadcasting Act 1990 consequent upon the changes made to the Communications Act 2003.
