Pozitiv
Presenters in Finals of ITV Weather Competition
05 July 2002
20% of the 20 finalists in ITV's "This
Morning" Search for a Weather Star are graduates of our One-Day
Television Presenters Course.
Ali Cook, Justine Hodgson, Victoria Showers and Carla Laszlo 
reached the finals after thousands of would-be weather forecasters
sent in applications to the programme. Viewers watched as the judges
- ITV Weather presenter, Sian Lloyd; talent agent, Jon Roseman;
and Met Office Media Presentation Controller, Rex Roskilly - put
the finalists through their paces before selecting five presenters
for the viewers' vote in today's Grand Final.
 Two
of the five - Victoria Showers and Carla Laszlo -
were from the Pozitiv stable and, during a live interview with This
Morning presenter, John Lesley, they both publicly credited their
headstart to the Pozitiv course. Throughout this past week, the
final five were sent out on location to Blackpool and the famous
This Morning floating weather map to present a variety of weather
reports.
 13,996
votes were cast by a predominantly female viewing public and - despite
being tipped as the judges' clear favourite in "The Daily Mail"
newspaper (26/06/02) - Carla came in second with 22% of the vote.
The competition's dapper winner, Robin Lermitte, was the housewives
favourite, scoring 35% of the vote.
The judging panel predicted a great future for all five finalists
and Robin will now undergo training at the Met Office before taking
up his one-year contract as an ITV weather presenter.
Congratulations to all the finalists from everyone at Pozitiv!
