Seán Talks Technology at STV's Weather Studio

Sean Batty STV's Weather

Seán Batty’s journey to becoming Scotland’s most recognised weather forecaster began with the present of a weather kit – which he saw on Blue Peter – for his 7th birthday.

“This is like a dream come true doing this job. When you’re young, you want to be a pop star, a footballer or a rugby player… and then that’s what’s happened,” the STV weatherman told an RTS Scotland event at STV Glasgow in early October.

Our Friend in Scotland: Steven Ladurantaye on his move to Glasgow

Steven Ladurantaye

I was sweltering in the heat of a classroom inside the fortress that serves as the headquarters of Vietnam’s state news broadcaster when my phone vibrated with a call from Scotland. I’d been flirting with STV News regarding a move for a few months.

Aside from my translator, none of the 20 journalists I was teaching (digital skills for broadcast journalists, since you ask) could speak English. I didn’t have to step out of the room when I fibbed and said, of course, it would be easy for me to visit Glasgow in a few days’ time for an interview for the head of news job.
