Calls for more powers over broadcasting to be devolved to Wales have been backed unanimously by a cross-party Senedd inquiry.
The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee s report says Wales should have more say on how broadcasting is funded and regulated.
The report makes 10 recommendations to materially improve media in Wales.
Committee chair Bethan Sayed said Wales currently lacks the media it needs to function as a successful nation .
Ms Sayed said people in Wales don t have the provision of news and current affairs that Wales needs and other areas - such as children s content, comedy and drama - are also underrepresented, meaning we do not see ourselves reflected on our screens .
