The local news channel KGW will spend as much as $1 million to build a news studio in Pioneer Square.
The high-definition facility will take over a vacant space formerly occupied by Powell's Travel Books. It'll be renovated to include floor-to-ceiling glass windows to allow the public to watch the anchors at work, similar to the NBC studio in Rockefeller Center.
The station expects to begin live morning and noon broadcasts from the studio this summer.
KGW, Portland's NBC affiliate, is a news-gathering partner of the Business Journal. It's owned by Dallas-based Belo Corp. (NYSE: BLC).
Outdoor television monitors will also broadcast the news for passersby to watch.
