Would probably require possibly closing the street and maybe a crane, so probably isn’t worth it atm unless it becomes a structural issue.

Step 1 of the site history wall, we’re still trying to find some good old photos of the tower, we know there’s one around somewhere that was taken back in the late 70’s or early 80’s from somewhere over the West side of the Pacific Hwy that shows the tower with 2 microwave link dishes which have the logo’s of TEN & 7 painted on them, but none of the TXA staff can find that photo anywhere on the internet, if anyone knows where it is or has a copy of it, would be good if you could share?

They have - building is still vacant, and the Seven logo would require a fair bit of work to be removed (road closures, etc). Not worth it unless any new tenant is paying and organising it’s removal.

Why would removal of branding be part of the make good when the lease ends?

Isn’t it located in a plaza with a good 20 metres of room between it and the road? Surely a couple cherry pickers on a weekend would suffice.

They probably just want to make whoever takes over signage rights pay for the removal in the process.

It isn’t - it’s less than 10 meters.

Not the greatest photo, but “Radio City 96.7” tower in Liverpool UK from when I was there yesterday. Station is now Hits Radio.

The new ABC Sydney TV studio in Parramatta. It’s an interesting set. Has some curves while copying the whole BBC style with a large LED Wall in the middle of the studio. Also it is quite small too and next to the main entrance.

Nice caps! Hard to see it much but it looks quite barebones.
Must say, I’m quite sick of the ABC always copying BBC over the years.
The lighting better be improved. Sydney’s lighting is one of the worst in the country.

Looks very decent - also appears to be a seated desk instead of a standing one.
Wall is definitely inspired by BBC.
Weird thing is with the NSW set was The Drum had decent lighting on one side of the studio, yet they couldn’t (and still can’t) do the same with the news set.

Complete waste of money. The control room remains in Ultimo as per my understanding.

Another reason why this whole “let’s shift some staff further into Sydney” move is ridiculous if they still need to control it from the same control room - may as well just build the new set in the existing studio.

Doing it on the cheap so as to produce a shopfront presence in the suburbs for political reasons, definitely not operational.
