Looked good, not nearly as bland as the usual set | ||

I should have clarified, I meant as a permanent location. Similar to the Today Show or other NYC based broadcasters that do live shows with rockefeller or timesquare as their backdrop. I think WDIV's reporting of the events downtown was the best, in part because they were in the heart of it all. They seem to have a van parked on the curb over there all summer long. And during the tree lighting and everyother event that goes on downtown. Seems to me that a permanent presence on the monroe block would be ideal. | ||

WDIV is already downtown. Their studios aren't very old. They can't be more than 15 years old. Why would they leave a fairly new purpose built building that they own? How about we try to brign someone from out of town down to the Monroe block? | ||

I know they are already downtown, but they seem the most likely to do something like this since they are almost always reporting from CMP. I really don't care who does it, I just think someone should. I'd be happy to pluck one from the suburbs. ? | ||

Me too, but I would prefer that we pull someone from out of state. The region as a whole needs more business, not the same business pitting cities/counties against each other. | ||

I'd be happy to pluck one from Ohio, but I think it'd be difficult to pluck Cincinatti's local news from Cincinatti. | ||

Yeah, bring Fox 2 or WXYZ to the Monroe block instead, and top it off with 30 floors of condos. | ||

I think it's a great idea, one that I've thought of many times. No better time than now since there are people downtown doing things. Why have a fake-ass set behind you when you can just have a window. A great location would be the bank space in the first federal building...it would be awesome! | ||

The Monroe Block would make an ideal location for a downtown campus building for either Wayne State or the University of Michigan. | ||

I actually thought of that years ago ! I even wrote to WDIV and consider. Their were no answer but it seems ironic cause i chosed monroe block too. It was going to be 30 story with ground floor retail and upper floor lofts. For WDIV , I wanted it to be like MTV where you can interact with fan outside and have a large plasma screen on the outside near the front entrance , showing detroit theme videos ! Oh yeah and a marquee scroller or whatever its called! Like hockeytown .........dont mind me , im bored ! | ||

You guys do realize that a a tv studio was proposed for the site a few years ago, right? The building was proposed as a humilating 3-4 stories. Needless to say it was dropped like it should have been. | ||

Fury13, What programs would either university put there? Seems like an odd location for that? Are you thinking an executive MBA program or something like that? | ||

I enjoyed the windowed studio looking out on CMP, it is a good idea...Gets interactive with the public...during the SB coverage they were turning around every 5 minutes or so and waving and interacting with the ppl...I think its a spendid idea. | ||

as a Detroit lover and resident (and I say this so people don't flog me)...I can't wait to see someone peeing in the street in the background of a live newscast. I'll be waiting... | ||

I'm sure they will have a rent-a-cop to prevent ppl from doing such things... |
