to the 
point these days, WBZ radio and WBZ-TV operate from a common newsroom in

the back of the building. When you see a reporter or anchor on channel 4

sitting at the "newsroom" desk, that's actually a platform with a desk
and 
a camera right in the middle of the radio news workstations, just behind

the radio editors' desks and facing the radio studios along one wall of
the 
room. As long as 1030 is all-news and co-owned with channel 4, it would 
make no sense to move its operations elsewhere - programming and 
engineering, anyway; I suppose sales and promotions could move elsewhere

without much effect. >>

Didn't Ed Goldman make a stink a couple years ago about not working with
the radio side after Natalie Jacobson was allowed to fill in for Brudnoy
one night? What ever became of that?

that move 
in 1996, and before that we were way over on the other side of the
building 
from TV, with a long twisty path of corridors to follow to get from the 
radio newsroom to the cramped old TV newsroom. If I had occasion to go
over 
to TV twice a month in the old days, it was a lot.) >>

I remember spending some Saturday afternoons hanging around the old
haunt and I can tell you first-hand it was a confusing place to find
your way around.
