The end of an era.
Had some great times in that building at 5th and Market in Philly. WYSP radio, KYW 1060 Newsradio, and CBS-TV 3. But as of this week, the wrecking crew is on site, tearing it down to make way for a new structure, and another tenant.
Loved doing Mid-days there at WYSP in the late 90′s. I also did some TV work for CBS-3; music reports and technology features.
I also remember how cool it was to bump into the well known on-air reporters from KYW newsradio, also housed within those hallowed halls. Sometimes I cringed when I saw them order some nasty stuff from that hotdog cart out front.
As you may know, the TV station moved over into new digs, up near the Art Museum area. And the 2 Radio stations moved just down the street on Market.
