Daybreak 288 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well this was pretty quiet because I don’t even remember hearing they are getting a new building. This is from Jim Lokay page.

effseesee 101 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 They announced they were moving back in 2017. They are moving into a brand new office tower at 7272 Wisconsin in downtown Bethesda. They are taking up 3 floors in the building. Their current building will be torn down and a new apartment complex will be built on the site. Here’s a link to the building they are moving to: https://www.workthewilson.com Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18290-wttg-new-building/#findComment-260051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but not far (about a mile and a half). They are going on a tower, off of River Rd, that is shared with a couple FM stations.

crbdmv78 0 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I wonder if they are going to get a completely new set or just pack and ship the current set? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18290-wttg-new-building/#findComment-260208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this tower site was the original home of WDCA prior to the digital transition, when it moved to WTTG's tower. WDCA's original studios are located here and are now used as a collision center after Fox bought them and consolidated them at the outgoing WTTG facility. So in a way, it's a homecoming of sorts.

noggi 604 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 This set turned out fantastic. I also love that they're using Bethesda skyline shots in the backgrounds vs DC monuments. Does anyone know if they changed out the opens finally? I'm out of the market for a few weeks and haven't had a chance to catch anything on their online stream.
