WASHINGTON 鈥� It’s the end of an era.
As 海角社区app prepares to leave its Northwest D.C. location for new digs in Chevy Chase, Maryland, crews on a crane scaled the station’s current HQ to carefully remove the station’s call letters Friday morning.
Early next year, the Glass-Enclosed Nerve Center will move to a new building at 5425 Wisconsin Avenue. Federal 海角社区app Network (WFED) is also making the move.
Both stations’ light-up call letters have been emblazoned across 海角社区app’s Idaho Avenue Northwest building since 2006. 海角社区app has been in its current building for nearly 30 years.
What happens to the call letters now? Initially some staff members had planned to divvy up individual letters as souvenirs, but it turns out they’re all bolted to a single backing bar and interconnected with electrical wires. The letters are also pretty hefty.
There are tentative plans to store the letters at 海角社区app’s transmitter site in Wheaton, Maryland.
