Weather had been attempted before on YSTV's news output - most memorably on location with [[Chris Ward]] during the [[Bulletin]] era, where he would turn up in a variety of locations with primitive 1970s BBC-style stick on symbols, including once in the Goodricke lift.  Other times primitive on-screen graphics were attempted, with even some basic [[chroma key]] at one point.  By the end of Bulletin however the weather was a verbal read-through of the forecast.  This changed with the arrival of YSTV's [[chroma key]] mixed.  Initially the weather was presented from a green board mounted on a set board, using [[Ed Jellard]]'s WeatherEd programme.  Images were usually stolen from the BBC's weather website.  From January 2004 a whole wall of the studio was painted green, which made the set up far easier.  Later [[Drew Perry]] wrote a programme that produced YSTV's own weather graphics, entitled WeatherDrew.

==Website==
YSTV Week was also one of the few programmes to have its own dedicated website.  The YSTV News website ran from summer 2004 for a little over a year, and was constructed by [[James Thorniley]] but mainly updated by [[Kate Rushworth]].  It would feature transcripts of that week's stories, photos and polls on the week's news.  As Vision and Nouse's websites were dormant during this period (and URY had no news site) it was the only online source for campus news during this period, something pointed out by the posters YSTV put up to advertise the site.  It was taken offline in summer 2005 after someone managed to hack into it and take the main YSTV website offline!
