The logistics of broadcasting news out of one cramped facility and the rest of the station out of Auburn drives the decision to consolidate in a "broadcast-ready" Westbrook facility, presumably the underutilized WPXT/WPME building on Ledgewood Drive. News will move there first with the rest of the operation to follow. Folks with long memories will recall that Channel 8 tried to do the same sort of thing decades ago but encountered howls of protest from 6 and 13, leading to WMTW's currently split operation. Is this the prelude to LMA-ing WPXT and WPME? Can that even be done with today's FCC?
