That's the rest of the story. CNN outgrew Techwood 30 years ago because Ted Turner wanted to base the talent in Atlanta. Slowly, over any years, they moved everyone to either NY or DC. So the Atlanta crew was so small, it could fit back in the original building.

Meanwhile, they just fired their CEO Chris Licht:

The executive swept into the top job with ambitious plans to remake the cable news giant. But he came under scrutiny as ratings dropped and criticism of his strategic decisions reached a fever pitch.

i guess hiring a writer for a late night talk show wasn't a good idea, i wonder if his replacement would be someone who is willing to turn the network into a conservate news outlet or restore CNN's cred back after the whole "Trump Townhall" debacle which was Licht's downfall as the CEO of CNN.

CNN needed to clean the house from Jeff Zucker as there were still too many loyal to him than Chris Licht he was in over his head, and even Colbert told Licht not to take the job. I hope that CNN will keep going to the middle and try to be fair to conservatives before Jeff Zucker turned CNN into a mess and a very left-wing network.

Why should anyone be fair to conservatives when they basically lie all the time. They have their safe space on Fox.

Many conservative Americans have a different perspectives and that is why this is a democracy, not an oligarchy. We all have the right to our beliefs, and others can challenge us in open debate.

While I don't agree with you, Don, I will fight to defend your right to express your opinion. Why can't you respect those with different beliefs?

I'm closing this thread. The move of some broadcast studios has nothing to do with politics.
