 CBS 2, KCAL 9 Now 'Clearly' Better In HD
STUDIO CITY (CBS) ― Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Councilwoman Wendy Greuel and CBS Corp. President and CEO Les Moonves helped CBS 2 and KCAL 9 christen its new all-digital, high definition facility in Studio City Friday.

The new, high-definition station houses 600 employees and allows CBS 2 and KCAL 9 to operate in an entirely tapeless newsroom. Both the KCBS and KCAL newscasts take place in their own respective 5,000-square-foot sound stages.

The first-floor newsroom was named in honor of veteran newsman Jerry Dunphy, known for his farewell "from the desert to the sea." Dunphy anchored for CBS in the 1970s, bringing the station to the top of the ratings, and sat in KCAL's anchor seat in the late 1990s, where he remained until his death in 2002.

The three-story, 162,000 square foot structure custom built for the duopoly station is at the CBS Radford Lot in Studio City, on the location that was previously home to the original "Big Brother" house and the lagoon seen in the cult classic "Gilligan's Island."

The two stations moved to Studio City from the Columbia Square facility at Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street in Hollywood, which was built in 1938.
