Just a day after the Bureau of Meteorology launched its new-look website, the changes have gone down like a lead weather balloon \u2013 not least among people who work in radio.<\/p>\n
BoM says its new website was designed in consultation with the community to make sure it delivers the information that people want.<\/p>\n
Tell that to people like Craig Smith, a community radio announcer at Switch Brisbane who relies on the BoM website \u2013 sometimes at short notice \u2013 to read out a weather warning or a forecast.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the things are now very hard to find and are no longer easy to read at a glance,\u201d says Craig. \u201cSurely I am not the only one in this industry who relies on this service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Craig got in touch with Radio Today, to see if there\u2019s been any similar industry feedback on the changes.<\/p>\n
There most certainly has.<\/p>\n
3AW Breakfast newsreader David Armstrong wasted no time teeing off on the new website, saying he is \u2018filthy\u2019 over the changes.<\/p>\n
Venting his displeasure with Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast this morning, Armstrong branded the new system \u201ctotally and absolutely unusable!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s inpenetrable! It is the most difficult thing!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a simple man. I don\u2019t like things to be difficult. I just want to know \u2018What\u2019s the temperature in Geelong?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing Armstrong\u2019s frustration was 3AW producer Damian Tardio, who said \u201cWhoever did that, can they please put it back to the original? Because it is completely and utterly STUFFED.\u201d<\/p>\n
On social media, SEN commentator Adam White lamented \u201cI can\u2019t believe what they\u2019ve done to the Bureau of Meteorology website. Very disappointing and frustrating. And unnecessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
