Surprising.

Reading between the lines it seems to me that the BBC want a less expensive
service; not surprising given the additional costs foisted on them by the
current government (paying the licence fee for over 75s).

The Met Office have probably declined to tender as they consider such a
service would not meet their minimum quality criteria.

It will be interesting to see who gets the job, if it is a New Zealand
company then we might see Dan Corbett back on our screens.

I could be completely wrong of course about the reasons.
