Sounds good. I haven't checked the facts but as I see it this is the situation:
- The Met Office (funded by the taxpayer) provides weather forecasts.
- The BBC (funded essentially by taxpayers albeit in a slightly different way) needs weather forecasts.
- The Met Office loses the "contract" to provide forecasts to the BBC
- The Met Office continues to be funded by the taxpayer (and continues to produce weather forecasts)
- The BBC continues to be funded by the taxpayer ( and continues to require weather forecasts)
- The BBC has to pay somebody elese for the weather forecasts they require.
As I said, sounds good. :-)
