Gray Television’s KMOV is set to depart downtown St. Louis in 2023 for a new broadcast facility in Maryland Heights, Missouri.
KMOV has broadcast from Gateway Tower at One Memorial Drive for over 50 years, with the station last seeing major changes in 2015 with the debut of a new set. With 28,000 square feet of space inside the office tower, the broadcaster is centrally located in downtown across from Gateway Arch National Park and the Gateway Arch.
Downtown St. Louis, however, has seen an uptick in businesses relocating to nearby suburbs due to increases in crime and to avoid the city’s earnings tax.
In Maryland Heights, KMOV will turn a three-story office building known as 77 Progress Parkway into its new facility with 45,000 square feet available for studios, newsroom and production support spaces.
