Thank you. One of the things, from reading the reports, was that, clearly, you are focusing on television, or content for television in whichever way you access it. I see that the evidence given by the BBC mentions the need for radio to be much more…

Future of public service media: Ofcom
Just to pick up on points made by Alun in terms of prominence, you talked about it being up to the broadcasters to discuss that. Is there support that Ofcom intends to provide in that regard? We know that S4C has been trying to campaign for this for many…
