Thought it might be better to set up a separate thread about S4C programming, especially after all the upheaval documented on the News thread.
Voting for the annual Can i Gymru (Song for Wales) contest on St David’s Day was hit by phone line troubles.
BBC Cymru Fyw reported today that some viewers had claimed they received higher than usual phone bills even after being unable to vote.

S4C, for its part, said a record 17,000 votes had been cast - substantially higher than last year (and the result doesn’t appear to have come under question)
There’s been a considerable revival of interest in the contest in recent years, largely driven by the (largely mocking) social media commentary.
