Just a few blocks apart. Old location is conveniently near the OB/GYN on top. Current location is at the bottom. Sounds like the plan is to house the combined WUSA/WDCW operation in the current WUSA studios. 

Definitely the current location then.

 

Roy Rogers going the way they did is just as bad as some of the way some broadcasters went after they were taken over.  The larger company prevails and ruins the goodness they bought from the other company.

Here in Atlanta, WXIA and WATL have been operating out of the Monroe Place broadcasting facilities since July 2008 when TEGNA predecessor Gannett bought WATL from Tribune some 2 years prior (in 2006), and Gannett extensively renovated the long-time WATL broadcasting facility, and the old WXIA facility on West Peachtree Street (and right next door to Cox Media Group ABC affiliate WSB) was sold and reopened as a school specializing in media production and studies.  The number of times I've passed by WXIA-WATL studios, which appears to be located on a hill overlooking I-85 and Buford-Spring Connector, doesn't look to be very big.  I doubt that Nexstar or whoever WXIA-WATL's eventual new owner is after TEGNA case is settled plans to leave that facility anytime soon.

Of the competing Atlanta stations, WSB appears to have a big facility (for both TV and radio) that was built and opened in July 1998.  Fox O&O WAGA has been at Briarcliff Road since Summer 1966, and it appears to be a decent sized building.  Gray Media's WANF has been at 14th Street since March 2001 and that looks to be a decent sized building.  CBS O&O WUPA appears to be in an office complex on Southbound I-85 Access Road, and appears to be on a hill with trees blocking the view from the main entrance, and my guess is the space to be small, and I'd imagine CBS moving its Atlanta operations to newer location in the next couple of years.

When Gannett bought WATL, they clearly had Channel 36’s facility in mind because it offered much more space than WXIA-TV’s old building on Peachtree Street. In fact, WXIA eventually moved its operations into the One Monroe Place facility after the acquisition. is well-suited. NBC still has a strong presence at the One Monroe location, and honestly, I don’t see Nexstar Media Group leaving anytime soon. It’s a large, modern, and spacious building that makes sense for long-term operations.

NBC's Mark Barger posted photos of the empty newsroom at the time.

 

Looks just like a broken-image icon to me.
