Just a day after the Bureau of Meteorology launched its new-look website, the changes have gone down like a lead weather balloon – not least among people who work in radio.
BoM says its new website was designed in consultation with the community to make sure it delivers the information that people want.
Tell that to people like Craig Smith, a community radio announcer at Switch Brisbane who relies on the BoM website – sometimes at short notice – to read out a weather warning or a forecast.
“All of the things are now very hard to find and are no longer easy to read at a glance,” says Craig. “Surely I am not the only one in this industry who relies on this service.”
Craig got in touch with Radio Today, to see if there’s been any similar industry feedback on the changes.
There most certainly has.
