When I lived in the Meyerland area, the KPRC building was a common site for me on my way to and from the SW Frwy. Since I moved away from the area, I hadn’t seen it in years. I recently started commuting down to Sugar Land and noticed the News 2 sign was removed from the radio tower structure, and wondered if they’d moved. Guess this answers it…
@Chris, they didn’t move very far. Previously on Swamplot:
