>Culture and Communications in Wales After the Communications Act
>
>The Deaprtment of Theatre, Film and Television Studies  is holding a 
>conference on the implication of the Communications Act 2003 for culture 
>and communications in Wales on 29th and 30th March 2004 at the Department 
>of Theatre Film and Television Studies at the Univesity of Wales, Aberyswyth.
>
>The Act imposes a new regulatory structure on commercial radio, TV and 
>satellite in Wales. The new regulator, OFCOM has the remit to promote 
>competition in the communications industries. There are major issues 
>associated with the impact this change will have on broadcasting and film 
>industries in Wales, and on the spread of  broadband based technologies. 
>The Act places the Welsh language broadcaster, S4C in a more competitive 
>environment. The BBCs future is up for reconsideration in the light of 
>the Act and the forthcoming Charter Renewal of 2006, and OFCOM is 
>currently engaging in a major investigation into the nature of public 
>service broadcasting.
>
>The communications industries in Wales have historically played a crucial 
>role in the formation of national politics, culture and the development 
>of  a bi-lingual society unique in extent in the United Kingdom.
>
>The organisers of the conference invite suggestions for panels or 
>individual papers on the Communications Act and its implications for the 
>production, distribution and uses of communications in Wales. We welcome 
>contributions on television, film, digital TV, radio, film and independent 
>production, language and culture, ownership and control, working 
>conditions, and culture. Whilst the focus will be on Wales, general papers 
>on the nature of the Act and its implications for communications more 
>generally will be welcome.
>
>A summary of the paper (up to 500 words) should be sent to tom OMalley by 
>9 January 2004 for consideration. Further details of the conference will 
>be circulated shortly.
