DC Mayor Vincent Gray (left) joined CBS Radio Senior VP/Market Manager Steve Swenson (middle) and CBS Radio President and CEO Dan Mason, Monday, to officially announce CBS' widely reported relocation. The six CBS stations are moving to 1015 Half Street SE in one of the District?s newest up-and-coming neighborhoods ? the Capitol Riverfront. The building is two blocks from Nationals Park and just south of the U.S. Capitol. CBS signed a 15-year lease for the new building.
The new facility will include a nearly 33,000-square-foot floor plan that includes offices, a street-level studio facing L Street SE, and a performance space where artists can host live shows. Construction begins in May, with the new performance space opening this summer and the rest of the building being completed by the end of the year.
Mason said, ?Our new world-class facility will provide extraordinary interactivity with listeners, and allow our stations to develop additional programming exclusive to the local community. This is an important development as we continue to strengthen the bond local radio has with the audiences in the cities where we operate.?
