[BC] CBS history

[Byrne, John H (COE Engineering)]

If I remember correctly, WCBS (AM) and WCBS-FM moved to Black Rock (51 West 52 - Floors 17 and 18) in the 1964 time frame.  Approximately a dozen years ago, WCBS (AM) moved to an ancillary building of the Broadcast Center (513 W 56 - Floors 8 and 9) and WCBS-FM moved to the Viacom Building (1515 Broadway).  Three or so years ago, WCBS (AM) and WCBS-FM moved to CBS Local Radio's consolidated facility in the Hudson Square section of Manhattan.

The CBS Radio Network moved into the original section of the Broadcast Center (524 W 57) in 1964 and remains there to this day.

Well, not exactly. WCBS AM and FM moved to Blackrock 24 years ago but the network moved to the Broadcast Center 50 years ago. As far as I know it is still there and not part of the radio cluster on Hudson St.
