Though the article goes on about forecast accuracy - including the
seasonal forecasts, even though those are totally irrelevant since the
BBC doesn't broadcast them - it seems that if the BBC *does* decide to
change its forecast provider it will be on grounds of cost. As the
forecasts on the BBC could be argued to be important in providing the
Met Office with a high profile with the public, one could argue that it
is actually the Met Office that should be paying the BBC rather than the
other way round.
