Anglia viewers must be getting fed up with the BBC nicking their weather presenters,first Wendy going to London and now Rachel.
The use of freelancers and Met Office relief has been unique at Tunbridge Wells with Kaddy filming for Inside Out, Kaye being off sick and Nazaneen leaving for Sky News.
However with the addition of Rachel and Kaye increasing her shifts gradually, there should always be one of the three on the rota to cover the shifts.
As far as I know also, Stav and Elizabeth are the BBC Weather Centre relief while Michael and Lara are freelancers.
Sara Thornton is also a Weather Centre relief forecaster based at TVC, in addition to covering Kate Kinsella's maternity over at BBC London, she also covers shifts on BBC Look North NE&C, but those bulletins come from TVC, not Newcastle.
Dan Corbett is their best presenter,he has a cheery style about him,says 'goodbye' to weather systems as they leave our shores!I would love to see Genelle Aldred on the national weather.
I've seen Tomasz Schafernaker recently on the BBC but I'd heard a month or two ago that he'd been sacked. Is he staying or going? (I like him).
He hasn't been sacked, but will be moving into a non broadcasting role with the Met Office this year alongside a couple of the other current broadcast forecasters who work on the BBC contract.

Thanks for that.
I'm guessing then that more weather forecasts throughout the day on News 24 will be just repeats of earlier ones, due to the reduced number of live presenters presumably not being able to provide 24x7 coverage. That's the only way I can see them saving any money.
The changes were supposed to come in in November, weren't they? It's now January and Rob, Phil and Tomasz remain in their roles. (which is a good thing in the case of the first two, less so the latter)
Didn't realise his last was on BBC1 until it was too late, but I got his last BBC News forecast at 10.30pm. He seemed quite sombre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jOB0aueyGc

I must be missing something,I don't get what you find so funny?
I thought this too - he was on only about 2 or 3 days ago

I'm struggling to understand why a "team leadership" interview is required to prosent the weather in the first place.
Not by me he wont.
is Rob on Twitter?
if so do you have a link so i can follow him.
just seen his last forecast.
he will be missed.
A nice way for Big Mac to finish. A true professional to the end.:)
I wish I could understand the logic behind the decision, but I'm still none the wiser.
Rob will be sorely missed.

In any case far more would have been watching the post-news forecast because they put Weatherview on at the most ludicrous hour of the morning.
Still, it was nice to hear the announcer refer to the fact that it was Rob's last forecast, with some affection I noted.
