and in terms of language - Cornish gets some very token effort on BBC Radio Cornwall & nothing on Spotlight, whereas Wales, Scotland and NI have entire stations dedicated to theirs.

Sorry but Cornish is basically dead, different situation to Welsh and Scottish Gaelic, it's no brainer!

5,000 people would disagree with that.  Yes, the media situation is very token.  A weekly 5 minute bulletin on BBC Radio Cornwall, a 1 hour weekly programme on various Cornish community radio stations.  That's about it at the moment.  Pirate FM used to have a 2 minute bulletin in Cornish every weekend, but that finished when Matthew Clarke left the station.  All in all, it's not a lot of support for a language that isn't dead, but isn't widely spoken. 

It would be something if a short daily bulletin could be broadcast in Cornish, that's really the next target.  But right now, with the current funding situation of the BBC, that's not likely to happen in the immediate future.  More media support would be nice, but again, it's difficult to see where the funding is coming from.
