They have a new rooftop that they can broadcast from. Maybe they will bring back Harold to do the weather again. If not, it's a great place for a band to do a concert. Should be fun.

I hope not. They should be using the stage in Dundas Square for that kind of thing.

I actually like it. I think it will look far better than what is currently there.
I'm surprised nobody's commented that the foot of the 'torch' will gain a great new use: radio station. I love that! The Hard Rock Cafés radio station fits in well, FAN 590 will do great there too.
I love the ticker sorrounding the building. It will give the entire building some movement and dynamism.
I'm a little stumped at the red structure. I wonder what that will be exactly. A changing faceted screen? If so, that could reach iconic status!

It's easy to see from that rendering how far CityTV has fallen. Their presence in terms of signage on that building is shockingly minimal.

it looks like the TTC Streetcar tracks cutting through the building have been removed. Besides the change from the "torch" to the red gem(?), i like it and think it will be wonderful. I don't think that they will be using corrugated steel as the cladding, but grey-tinted glass panels.
Is the FAN 590 actually moving into the building? I hadn't heard that before. It seams that radio station moves around a lot and I thought they were comfortable at the Rogers building on Jarvis.

"it looks like the TTC Streetcar tracks cutting through the building have been removed."
It's hard to tell from the rendering whether the tracks have been filled in...you could argue either way.

Agreed...if you look at the people in the rendering you can actually see their legs / feet through the mystery translucent material.

Perforated corrugated steel?
That video screen looks totally lonely and out of place.

That rendering is absolutely disgusting, and that haphazard 'welcome' tower-thing looks stupidly ridiculous. Torch is a gem compared to whatever that thing in the rendering is.

The TTC tracks remain and the city report confirms such.

Tell that to the rendering.. I don't think the ground floor studios got the memo.
