Did WCBS-AM move?

I

ixnay

At around 8:36 am Fri. 12/2/11, I thought (while driving to my 9 to 5 job) I heard Rivka (sp?) Oppenheim saying that CBS-AM was moving from W. 57th to someplace called "Hudson Square". Was I hearing things? Even if I wasn't... where's Hudson Square? I can't find it in my Hagstrom laminated NYC 5 Borough Street Atlas (not in the index, anyway), and Wiki was no help, either. What subway stop is Hudson Square near?

ixnay, we are here! 345 Hudson Street is between King and Charlton...a block south of Houston. The Houston Street 1 train stop is a block away, at Houston/Varick. And, the Christopher Street PATH station is six blocks north.

Also...you win special bonus points for spelling Rivka's first AND last names correctly! :)

Just found the location in the aforementioned atlas (inherited from my late father who was a frequent NYC visitor [except for college elsewhere in PA, he resided his entire 73 years in the Philly area before dying in 2010]). The new studio is just north of the Holland Tunnel and near the FDNY museum to boot. Thanks Dad in heaven and all of you who responded. And thanks too, Mr. Scott, for the bonus points! I was thinking phonetically in my spelling.

Hudson Square (formerly the Printing District) was renamed by Trinity Real Estate owner of 17 office buildings between Houston and Canal, Hudson River to Sixth Avenue. The firm is the business arm of Trinity Church at Broadway and Wall Street, lower Manhattan property owners since the 1600s.

Absolutely correct. Good answer.
