Disney studios for 620?

C

ContinuousWave

I know 620 is fed from satellite for the Radio Disney format...but does anyone know where the local studio and offices for it are located? Are they still at the Arlington location that ABC used to have before spinning off the ABC O&Os to Citadel??
 
For a long time, the Arlington studios were the feed for the entire network. I met some RD staffers, including the president of the network, at some DFW events. I still have the business card - I spent several minutes trying to dissuade her not to convert the network to HD. Obviously my voice didn't carry the day. I think they moved because it was easier to get Disney stars in the studio if they were located in Los Angeles. I doubt they still have a local office, advertising is probably handled by an ABC staffer. I don't know what happened to their remote van and local people - probably long gone.
 
Actually the original RD studios were at ABC RN/SMN complex on Montfort in N Dallas...there were no network operations in Arlington, only WBAP, KSCS and KMEO (96.7 when it first signed on)..The over the air studios for RD were moved to California after a bulk of the operations staff for RD only had moved, but there HAS to be a local studio for 620 (I don't think they have a waiver) and any local commercials would be done there as well (I know the Houston RD station on 1590 does have a GM and local staff)
