Not quite true.

BBC Wales and and a lot of independant Welsh language tv production companies supplying S4C have a major presence in Gwynedd.

They along with Welsh politicians make up most of the numbers who want an air service between Valley and Cardiff.

It certainly has been a political route just like the free Traws Cymru bus which travels mid Wales empty.

Funding for the air route over the years has come from the EEC.
