They all work in the same building and get paid from the same pool of

at the Flight Watch position whose sole responsibility it was to answer
queries about the weather on 122.0...s/he worked no other frequency. And
his scope did not have a flight plan screen, as did the other scopes in
the room.


That's informative to me (ie. I didn't know this {8^), but I still don't
know why the separation of the two services?

Thanks...
