“As many have noted, there is an alarming lack of Welsh content available for American viewing pleasure. That stops today. Well, actually Wednesdays,” said Maximum Effort Co-founder Ryan Reynolds. “We’re so grateful to S4C for helping bring Welsh programming to a broader audience. And to that broader audience, don’t worry, I am told there will be subtitles.”
S4C, Wales’ national broadcaster, is a Welsh language television channel established in 1982. The channel broadcasts over 115 hours a week of programmes including news, drama, documentaries, music, entertainment and children’s programmes. You can view S4C across the United Kingdom, with some programmes also available to watch throughout the world on our streaming and social media platforms.
“Ryan Reynolds is our adopted Welshman and his respect, understanding and commitment to Wrexham and Wales is unquestionable. Welsh Wednesdays is an exciting new long-term partnership and we are thrilled to be working with the Maximum Effort channel and Fubo on this commercial output deal,” said S4C Chief Content Officer Llinos Griffin-Williams. "It gives us the opportunity to show Welsh culture, language and talent on the international stage in our Wednesday takeovers. This will take Welsh language content to the world and will benefit the entire creative sector here in Wales as we showcase everything from S4C dramas to entertainment formats, documentaries and sport.”
Maximum Effort Channel, curated by Ryan Reynolds and the Maximum Effort team, is available to watch on Fubo as well as Amazon Freevee, LG Channels, Plex, Sling Freestream, Tubi, VIDAA, VIZIO Watchfree+ and Xumo Play.
