They're located 10 steps from each other, but to hear newsradio outfits KFWB and KNX give their weather reports, you'd think they were in completely different complexes.
When it comes time to give the temp, I heard one KFWB anchor say, "It's (blank) degrees at the KFWB Broadcast Tower." KNX, on the other hand, has its anchors say, "It's (blank) degrees at the CBS Broadcast Center."
Both are totally made-up names, so I guess it doesn't matter. The truth is, both are located in the Wilshire skyscraper right next door to Variety (where E! Entertainment Television once resided, before joining Variety in the Wilshire Courtyard complex).
But I love that KFWB goes beyond exaggeration (not only are many CBS radio stations in the tower, but CBS Radio is just one of many, many tenants in the tower) while KNX is a bit more modest.
