So will the British government cut the $100 million to this channel?

How bad does a government TV channel have to be before its funding is cut?

Audiences for many programmes on S4C, Channel 4 for Wales, were so low that they failed to register.

S4C, which gets more than £100m of subsidy from taxpayers, officially attracted zero viewers on 196 out of its 890 programmes. . .

Just 139 out of all the station's entire programmes for the period were watched by more than 10,000 viewers. . . .


196 programs get zero viewers = 0

555 programs get between zero and 10,000 viewers (say 5,000 on average) = 2,775,000

139 programs get over 10,000 viewers (say 20,000 on average) = 2,780,000

Total = 5,555,000

In dollars (exchange rate 1.53938), that comes to $27.71 per viewer per show.
