Hi, where’s the video? We need a reliable service if you want regular watchers of your channel, both here and YT.

We’re a free service providing videos almost every day of the working week with no budget to do so and very little support staff – we’re a small business, smaller than your local cafe. Your taxes fund both Niwa and MetService to make videos, so you can view their videos on the days we can’t do them. If you were a regular viewer of ours you might have noticed I said yesterday there would be no video today, so it seems even if I do a video every day not everyone actually always watches them…we take it you did not watch yesterday, or read the text where we said no video today and why? During Cyclone Gabrielle no other forecaster in NZ was providing video updates after hours like us so I feel comfortable about being reliable when it matters most.

We also made TWO videos yesterday at no charge to you – rather than our usual 1. Did you watch both? The second one was two to three times longer and more detailed than usual.

It seems no matter how much hard and extra work we do, there’s always some guy fired up to complain they didn’t get exactly what they wanted from an entirely free service.
