Default Radio 4 PM New forecast...

PM has just started...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/pm/2009/1...weathe_1.shtml


Stay tuned. We want to know what YOU think about our brand new weather
forecast.

Why? A few weeks ago, an informal experiment among our listeners suggested
that our nightly weather forecast didn't work for many of them: they
couldn't remember the weather for their area.

So we asked our audience what would work for them, and had some fun trying
out several ideas on air...including using birdsong and regional accents!

Because of the interest expressed in all this by listeners to PM and iPM,
Radio 4 is using PM to test a brand new style of forecast. It's a sort of
pilot scheme and your opinion will help shape how the new forecast is rolled
out across the entire network.
