We have often complained about most aspects of the forecast presentation on
BBC but they are pretty good in comparison with what Sky does. I don't get
these at home, but while on holiday the ship was able to pick up Sky to
nearly 60N so I saw its output quite often.

They are generally very hurried. Radar and satellite imagery are merged
cleverly - so long as you are fairly well up in interpreting them both and
can freeze frame the b/c to study the composite AND find the coastline. The
dizzying satellite sweep we get on BBC pales beside the even more oblique
view on Sky.

But they do use a large screen without obvious joins in the panels!


The joins on the BBC panels look like cross hairs, I want a phone number
to show on screen, so that I could do a "bernie the bolt" and fire some
grunge at the forecaster, for giving a terrible forecast ! ;-)
