Interim Chair and Chief Executive’s Introduction

Guto Bebb, Interim Board Chair; and Sioned Wiliam, Interim Chief Executive

It’s a pleasure for us to jointly introduce S4C’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Since commencing in our interim roles during April 2024, our focus has been on maintaining internal stability which was achieved following a challenging period. In that respect, we are grateful to Geraint Evans and Elin Morris for jointly assuming the duties of the Chief Executive in late 2023, and to Rhodri Williams whose term as Board Chair came to an end on 31 March 2024.

2023–24 was a difficult period internally at S4C. However, we are reassured that the services we offered our audiences, and their appreciation of our content, was unaffected – as evidenced in the audience data outlined later in this Annual Report. This is testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff and the content production sector on which S4C is dependent.


We are delighted that S4C has a slate of high-quality content for our audience for the remainder of 2024–25. On this site, our Interim Chief Content Officer outlines what the coming months have in store for viewers on our various platforms.

The responsibility for the stewardship of S4C during this difficult time has been a great privilege, and we hope that our interim roles will enable a public appointment process to appoint a new Board Chair, and a separate process to appoint a permanent Chief Executive.

In the meantime, we are grateful to everyone for their continued support and dedication as we ensure S4C continues to develop, adapt, and grow, whilst offering the best services to viewers across Wales.
