Re: CORUS QUAY

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).

I had wondered where they went to! There was a time you would literally see them “everywhere”, memories!
