Corus could easily move into the former City/Omni building @ Yonge & Dundas
Not easily if a long-term lease exists on the waterfront complex
Is City/Omni actually moving or is this a rumour?
City TV and Omni are definitely moving. Their lease is up at the end of March, but I was wrong about the space being open to Corus moving in.
The current City/Omni building will become a Ryerson Toronto Metropolitan University building with Rogers giving them some support.
City/Omni's new home will be 1 Mount Pleasant.

The Dundas Square building is a terrible building to work in, especially as a broadcaster. Rogers only wanted it as a showpiece in downtown Toronto and those execs are long gone. Think about it, you have a fleet of news trucks, but nowhere to park them, ever. Reporters had to get dropped and run in while the camera person looked for parking, pathetic.

Not to mention the drug addicts and other assorted charmers who now reside at Yonge and Dundas.

=12pxI recall taking a tour of the Skydome... I mean Rogers Centre a few years ago. They took us through the basement of the building, and spotted a couple of Citytv's LiveEye ENG trucks living there (wonder how often they are used now considering bonded cellular has replaced microwave trucks for most live hits).
