S4C2 (Sianel Pedwar Cymru Dau, which is Welsh for Channel Four Wales Two) is a free British television station owned by S4C that broadcasts coverage of the National Assembly for Wales.

The channel broadcasts from 9am to 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and shows coverage of the National Assembly for Wales whenever it is in session, along with key committee meetings and discussion and analysis. All programming is produced by the BBC.

As the Assembly is bilingual, with members allowed to speak in both English and Welsh, the service carries two audio feeds on Freeview and satellite: an untranslated feed that broadcasts proceedings in their original language (be it English or Welsh) and an English feed that translates any Welsh speech into English.

The channel is only available in Wales on Freeview and cable, though it is available throughout the United Kingdom on satellite.
