Topic: Metromedia Square


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Metromedia Square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metromedia Square (also known as Fox Television Center from 1986 to 1996) was a radio and television studio facility located at 5746 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
In 1986, Metromedia sold KTTV to the Fox Broadcasting Company, and the studios became the Fox Television Center, even though Metromedia continued to own the building and the land on which it was situated, therefore leasing the property to Fox and KTTV.
The Metromedia Corporation sold the land to the Los Angeles Unified School District in 2000.

Metromedia and our own billboard cases have held that billboard statutes may not prefer commercial to noncommercial speech, may not include content-based exemptions for certain noncommercial billboards, and may not depend for enforcement on examination of noncommercial billboards' content.
