MetService Coup

Unread post by jrj »

Metservice has clinched a multimillion-dollar deal selling its weather graphics software to the BBC.
Australia's Nine Network already uses the innovative graphics package, as well as CNBC stations in Europe, Dubai, Turkey and Asia and television stations in Beirut and Saudi Arabia.
MetService chief executive John Lumsden described the BBC contract as a coup and possibly one of the biggest weather graphics software contracts in the world.
The British broadcaster will use the software for all its national and regional channels, as well as BBC World and its Internet site.
Called Weatherscape XT, the 3D animated graphics give viewers a bird's eye view of the weather as they "fly" over their region.

Yes, I was wondering about this. It was mentioned last night at the CWW meet.
I wonder if it the result of work by Trevor McGavin from MetService ??
