RUMOR MILL: Station moving

March 12, 2010 Off By Eric O'Brien

RUMOR MILL: We’re hearing the rumors fly (again) that KDKA (1020) is about to announce a move to join its FM sisters (KDKA-FM, WDSY and WZPT) at Foster Plaza in Greentree. There is no official word as to if or when the move will take place, but this is hardly the first time the idea has been tossed around. 

The last time we remember this move being discussed was in 2005, ironically around the same time of a massive water main break caused a flood outside – and inside – of Gateway Center. The water flowed into the parking garages and generally made life miserable around Gateway Center for several days as cleanup efforts continued. KDKA-TV suffered damage to its news vehicles and also some production equipment.
