Responding to reports that negotiations are being held for S4C to provide free-to-air Welsh language coverage for the Autumn internationals, Tom Giffard MS, Shadow Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport, said:
“Securing free-to-air coverage of this year’s Autumn internationals would be fantastic for hard-pressed families across Wales.
“We’ve led the way on calling for the Six Nations to remain free-to-air, tabling a motion and winning support across the Senedd. Giving people who cannot afford an expensive subscription to a sports coverage provider the chance to watch Wales go against the likes of South Africa this Autumn would be excellent for our national sport.
“S4C has the full support of the Welsh Conservatives in their talks.”
