Interesting post from Mondoville

In the centre of everything [Gord Martineau, Broadcast Dialogue]: The surviving anchor of CityNews At Six divulges his role in helping new Citytv owner Ted Rogers relocate to the former Olympic Spirit building at Yonge-Dundas Square a few months before his passing — Martineau had a friend who owns a business in the area, and was tipped off to the fact that Google were on the verge of buying the building, and leasing out what they didn’t need. While there was some talk of moving Citytv further down the same road — somewhere around the Drake Hotel — after CTV started the process of evicting them from 299 Queen Street West, it was Martineau who convinced Ted to move elsewhere: “We have to take it to the next level,” he recalls saying.
“Do something extraordinary … make a really bold statement that shows we are on the leading edge of what’s next.” And last night, when the Team Canada hockey victory erupted in said square just before 6 p.m., the station aired no live pictures — having cancelled weekend newscasts in January.
