: : What a long strange trip it's been.
: Since 1990 everybody knew the old WMAQ radio lease was up this year and the NBC Tower would either have to be renewed or vacated - so why did the CBS suits move force WXRT to move less than 1.5 years ago? Pay all those moving costs? Pay all those remodeling costs? And now they have to do it all - AGAIN?! I'm so confused.
It is very possible that space wasn't ready or available yet at Two Prudential, but it may have been available at The NBC Tower. If you remember, around that time, 'XRT was missing a GM and a General Sales Manager. Those existed at WSCR, located in The NBC Tower. With the temporary move, those duties would be assumed by those suits. I believe the intention was, right from the start, to eventually move 'XRT to Two Pru. That is finally taking place.
