Prime News & it's weather presentation.

Unread post by Willoughby »

I'd just like to comment on Prime News. Produced, directed in Sydney.
And all the NZ news is done by phone calls to Newstalk ZB reporters. Funny. All the sport is straight off fox sports. even funnier. The set is Sky News'!!!

To the thing that we care about, the weather presentation, it's sourced from The Weather Company aus; and just like the Sky News one too.
The M.S and the W.C forecasts are quite the same, sometimes the aussie one is more on to it.

I can't even get prime!! Something to do with our arieal being to old I think, I'm not even sure if they're actually relaying the signal for Prime down this way to Southshore because the Port Hills cuts out the signal from sugerloaf to hear. I can only get 1, 2, 3 and a crappy looking 4.

I'd like to see it some time, about all I can add! :D

Yeah, their forecast for Christchurch the other day was 100 % totally incorrect by saying just THUNDERSTORMS !
Just imagine if there were a plane load of storm-chasers on a non-related to weather holiday to NZ and just prior to booking out of their Sydney hotel they saw the forecast for their next destination, Christchurch was THUNDERSTORM.
the NZTS could of got so much flack??
