Maybe the independent channels will see an opening and usurp the Beeb.

Don't hold your breath.


Time they did. There's no substitute for a proper broadcast by an
experienced meteorologist despite the tools available to us on the internet.
Could TWC again launch a version for the UK/Europe? The last time they tried
was around ten years ago and we now have (cheaper) digital TV and much
greater resources to make it interesting. A global look is required as there
would not be enough of interest in the UK for much of the time.

Hard to believe BBC presenters want to continue with the present graphics.
It must be very frustrating for them.
