This is C5's way of being different.

And why do the BBC Breakfast people send their weather presenters out every day day in day out - I just can't understand why they do it!

They always seem to send them out to the Thames, or near the London Eye. Which as we know, is GMTV territory.

Yes - and they stand there for three hours doing six (?) bulletins!? Must be very cost effective for the satellite link!

Why don't they just send them on the roof of TV centre, Channel 5 style.

And hardly anyone watches 5 @ Breakfast anyway!

They could do (and look out over the whole of West London!) - or just present from the Breakfast studio as previously.

Going slightly OT, but Midlands Today have recently decided to broadcast the weather from the roof. I think its only why there is nice weather though!

Look North Leeds often sent Paul Hudsen out and about for the 6.30 programme to different events or just a hillside to broadcast the weather from - at all times of the year, ie. fields full of snow or fields fun of the sun's rays!

Sky always send the presenters out during the summer, the sometimes do it from the end of a pier or at a beach etc.
Fox News do it in the middle of New York City sometimes, which is probably quite dangerous!
