viewers hail 'Scotland's return'

Despite the huge increase in the number of searchable locations online, some viewers were annoyed their home towns and cities were not shown on the main TV forecast map. Weather forecasts have formed part of the BBC's output for almost a century - the first radio weather bulletin was broadcast on 14 November 1922 while daily bulletins began on 26 March 1923. - www.bbc.co.uk

Normalising our loudness

All you need is LUFS. The current broadcast standards for loudness are based around the ITU-1770 measurement recommendation, and the EBU R-128 recommendation which specifies a target integrated loudness of -23LUFS. This value works really well in the home and is the standard for our HD television transmission, but when a programme recorded to an integrated loudness value of -23 LUFS is played in a noisy environment on portable equipment with its legal volume limits, it can sound very quiet compared to commercial music, and at worst it can become inaudible against the background conditions. If we were just processing speech, we might go for a greater reduction in the loudness range, just pop music, we might look for higher integrated loudness values. - www.bbc.co.uk
