New bi-media Weather Centre at TC
Nigel Jackson gives the reasons for building a new bi-media Weather Centre at TC and describes the facilities provided.
The new Weather Centre has, for the first time, allowed Radio and Television fore casts to be broadcast from the same site. Radio broadcasts began on 1st September 1991 and Television broadcasts on 17th November that year. However, the main on-screen impact of the new area was seen progressively through 1992, as new control software was released by the Computer Graphics Workshop.
The Weather Centre provides bulletins for Network Television, South East Regional Television, Network Radio, World Service Television and SSVC (who are responsible for British Forces Broadcasting).
