S4C currently receives funding both from the exchequer (£6.8 million for 2015-16) and £74.5 million from the licence fee, for 2015-16 and also 2016-17, the end of the licence fee settlement. All options around the licence fee will be considered as part of the Charter Review. The level of all exchequer funding for public bodies will be a matter for the Spending Review, which has yet to begin.
