WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 If there were any few remaining doubts about WWOR being a New Jersey station in name only, the beginning of 9 Broadcast Plaza's (sold late last year) date with the wrecking ball should put it to rest. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2019/06/bye-bye-channel-9-demolition-begins-at-secaucus-based-tv-station.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17168-wwor-9-broadcast-plaza-demolition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED2 144 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 So have all the operations for WWOR officially moved in with WNYW, or did they move to some place else in NJ?

But the pride of being in NYC always overrules some common sense... 3 hours ago, ED2 said: So have all the operations for WWOR officially moved in with WNYW, or did they move to some place else in NJ? The moment the Main Studio Rule was repealed, FTS no longer had to maintain the fiction of having a Secaucus studio that just existed after 2013 to relay a signal to the other side of the Hudson (NJ's senators are still pushing at the requirement to be restored specific to WWOR, but it isn't returning without a Democratic-friendly FCC). Best case scenario, they keep a small office in a suite somewhere for a Chasing News jockey to call in on Skype and consider that 'public service to New Jersey'.

RGSJenkins 435 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The only Jersey centric show they really have is "New Jersey Now", a half-hour public affairs show hosted by WWOR's Vice President/Station Manager Dianne Doctor. "Chasing News" doesn't even know if wants to be a NJ or NY show. They're airing more NY stories, there is (only one) billboard in the Bronx (probably the only advertising outside of MY 9), I'm not sure what "Chasing News" is chasing anymore.

There are a couple in rotation on the digital billboards on the NJ Turnpike so...I guess that counts?

RGSJenkins 435 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Just drove by the Broadcast Plaza, they have construction fences around the property and the WWOR sign is still up.

It was due to legal requirements that WWOR first moved to NJ and Fox's broken promises to maintain it's NJ focus. Chasing Crap does not cut it.
