As noted above, the former WHDH-TV studios eventually were incorporated 
into a larger office complex that was used by Bank of Boston/BayBank and 
is now Signature Bank. They're not directly opposite the Globe, but no 
more than a few hundred yards north on the other side of the street, and 
the Globies would have had to drive by there on their way to or from 
work, unless they were coming up from the south.

Last I heard, the old WLVI studios at 75 Morrissey Blvd. were sitting 
vacant - anyone know if that's still the case?
