From a film location contract. I'm not quite sure what to do with "auftraggebenden Sender". I guess it's the broadcaster paying for the programme to be made. But is this a contracting broadcaster, client broadcaster or what? I want the correct term. TIA for your help.
Explanation: I would call this a "commissioning broadcaster"
"S4C is a commissioning broadcaster, rather than a programme producer, creating jobs and boosting the local economy throughout Wales. All the services on offer are transmitted from S4C's Headquarters in Llanishen, Cardiff. "
Comissioning broadcaster it evidently is! Thanks Ian and also the peer graders. Thanks also and commiserations to Ingrid, who was just that little bit later with her answer, but it was also a good one. Appreciate everyone's help. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
