Bargen! Beth yw gwerth SDN heddiw yn wyneb yr argyfwng economaidd? Y nesaf peth i ddim byswn i'n tybio! Go brin y byddai'n fwy na'r £3 miliwn o doriad yng nghyllideb S4C!
"ITV is looking to offload it as part of a series of cost-cutting measures designed to balance its books. The sale of SDN could raise about £200m (US$291.8m), according to reports."
"Investment bank Numis described SDN as an "excellent business" and a "hidden gem"" within ITV that generated £33m in revenue for the broadcaster in 2008."

"A oes angen dweud?" Wel, mae anngen dwud mwy. Dwi'n deall dim. Gair o eglurhad plis.
Fe fyddai'r cynydd yng ngwerth SDN o gymorth mawr i S4C pe bai na bai'r sianel wedi ei gwerthu. Fe wnaeth S4C elw sylweddol trwy werthu SDn- peth digon teg i wneud ar y pryd- ond a chafwyd y pris cywir?
Buddsoddwyd peth o 'windfall' SDN yng nghwmni Inuk, cwmni a fethodd marchnata ei wasanaeth 'teledu dros IP' i gwsmeriaid tu allan y byd academaidd, a sydd nawr yn diswyddo staff ac yn gorfod cael ei 'achub' gan gwmni Americanaidd. Wrth dyw S4C Masnachol ddim byd i wneud a S4C nagyw? (cwestiwn agored)
