WTHI-FM's former studio building, which was shared with sister station
WWVR and former sister station
WTHI-TV (which was co-owned with WTHI-FM from 1954 to 2005), is being demolished in December 2012 to accommodate parking for a new office building constructed behind the former WTHI building and facing Wabash Avenue.
The old building was constructed as a garment factory in 1906, but housed WTHI-FM and WTHI-TV from 1954 to 2012.
WTHI-FM and WWVR, which were later joined by new acquisitions
WFNF and
WFNB, moved into their new office building in August 2012;
this separated the stations from WTHI-TV,
which moved to its own new building (at 800 Ohio Street) in October 2012.
