The area around Soldiers Field Road, Western Avenue, and Market Street in Brighton (the westernmost neighborhood of Boston) has been home to broadcast studios for many years, starting with the WBZ facility at 1170 Soldiers Field Road in 1948 (which even before that was the transmitter site of WCOP-1150). Since then, WBZ has been joined by ten other stations (not to mention WBZ-FM, now elsewhere, and WBZ-TV); it is about to be joined by three more as Boston's largest public broadcaster, WGBH, moves from its long-time Allston home to the other end of Western Avenue and south a few blocks to new studios on Market Street. We saw inside WBZ's studios back in June, 2005; I hope to see the new WGBH studios soon.
(As of this writing, WGBH has already moved some office functions into the new One Guest Street complex; studios are planned to move later in June, with a formal public opening in September.)
