KFFV, KVOS

[LITTLEBOYBLUE]

Last time I cruised by ... looks like KFFV & KVOS are gone from the industrial area where they had operations (near the old Andy's Diner).
FCC shows station address is Weigel in Chicago -- which supplies their networks.

Is there a new law (like the studio one for radio) that says TV stations no longer need to have a local address in city of license?
Does that also mean that the small store-front office for KVOS on NewMarket st. in Bellingham is gone too?

The FCC repealed the requirement for stations to have a local studio in the city of license.

Yes the original studio/offices for KVOS in Bellingham was abandoned years ago. Not long after Michael Dell's group bought the station.

That was Ellis St -- the old full facility. After they left, they opened a very small (dental office size) storefront for the public file (and some sales) way up North in new section of town.
