Maybe this is why, after 95 years of using met office forecasts BBC has started using a private company - to 'save money' - they could save a lot more by paying their overpaid presenters and managers a bit less of our money.
"Familiar weather presenters will remain on screen, but employed directly by the BBC rather than the Met Office, which trained them. As presenters made up the bulk of costs, it is hard to see how that shaves much off the BBC bill. Last year the Met Office invoiced the BBC substantially less than £3m; a fraction of the Met Office’s £230m annual funding"
