So the BBC decide to axe two of the better weather presenters, but
keep the likes of Carol Kirkwood, and Mr here's the numbers for today
Daniel Corbett.

I've heard that McElwee will be now appearing as Prince Charles to
double his Royal Highness' social engagements around the world.

I can only think that perhaps Rob and Philip asked for this? The other
one is overdue.

Rob McElwee? Good grief... I know some people here don't like his style,
which is fair enough, but my (very non-scientific, very anecdotal)
evidence is that he's highly popular with (that dread term) "ordinary
viewers". Unless, as speculated elsewhere in this thread, he actually
wanted to move away from on-camera role, this seems like a completely
bonkers decision. To put it mildly,

I think the BBC may have shot themselves in the foot, too. I'd be amazed
if there wasn't some sort of "Don't Dump Rob!" campaign gearing up
already, and if so then I'm sure other media outlets would be delighted
to give it space. I doubt we've heard the last of this...

Well, with three real meteorologists to be axed from BBC, what are we
left with? Non-meteorologists employed for personality (??? ) rather
than having in-depth understanding of the weather.

Isn't that called "dumbing down"?

Jim Bacon is still presenting the forecast on BBC Look East and damm
good he is too.

Doesn't that make you lose the will to live.
