It makes perfect sense to me.  Only WBZ and WLAW were in the Bradford, as
far as I know, and when WBZ moved out, which was in early June of 1948, no
other radio station needed the space, as far as I know.  WLAW and WBZ were
in different parts of the Bradford, based on what I have read.  Correct me
if I am wrong on this one, but when I did WBZ's history, I read about how
they abandoned their studios at the Bradford-- it took a full week and lots
of moving vans to get all their stuff out and over to the new digs on
Soldiers Field Road; the stories about the move said the Bradford basically
turned that space (5th floor) into offices.  Now, perhaps WLAW moved into it
at some point, but I don't have any evidence of that-- the Lawrence station
had maintained its own Boston studios long before WBZ left... they listed
two studio locations, in fact:  one at the Bradford and another at 278 Essex
Street...
