Default Best Tv Forecaster 2003

Since none of the TV channels seem to be doing this maybe we should do it in
here and unofficially award this prestigious prize - I am sure it would be
picked up by the press and we could all have a bit of fun.

For best I mean most coherent, least verbose etc. you know the things that
you look for. I suppose it would really be BBC folks as there does not seem
to be any competition.

and i guess it would be those seen nationally.

As news 24 blood more and more new faces it would be good to identify the
top 3, to set standards so to say )

I will leave out radio and press as that would be too easy and the
competition would not be eden, i mean even.

my vote would be

1. Rob McElwee - by some margin
2. Philip Avery
3. Peter Gibbs

As I understand it, Francis Wilson of Sky news Weather has won many
'gongs' for best weather presenter and for content/detail - 6.5m homes
have sky TV installed .In many ways, its a sad reflection of TV in
this country when the most talked about TV progs' are on state owned
Radio/TV channels (I didn't say state run, but many a politician has
tried to influence those channels)

A very good idea, but the voting procedure needs to be set up via an
interactive website or similar. I wouldn't know how to do that. Is there
anyone out there who could organise?

I would concur with your order of excellence.

Someone email me all the presenters names and I'll setup a poll.

The trouble with Francis Wilson is that he is so laid back that it is
difficult to stay awake through to the end of his broadcast.

And of course, not everyone in the country has satellite TV. My 84 year old
mother in law for example doesn't - I am quite sure she would want to make
an informed vote in this poll, but sadly would feel unable to do so being
limited to a knowledge of terrestrial broadcasters only.

The voting web-page must also have photographs of the presenters.
Especially the female presenters ;-)

Er.. there seem to be a few missing. Unless you are limiting it to national
presenters. ISTM that the presenters on satellite TV (who I have never heard
of) are given precedence over local presenters on terrestrial TV. Where are
our local ITV ladies, Emma Jesson and Charlie Neil?
