Viacom the parent company of MTV has decided not to renew the lease on their studio space at 1515 Broadway, between 44th and 45th streets.
While they have renewed the lease on the office space, they chose not to extend the lease for the 22,216 foot second-floor studio.
The studio with its 16 foot high windows was primarily used for "TRL" and often hosted other live MTV programs or specials. When "TRL" was cancelled, the higher ups at MTV saw less of a need for the space.
It's not clear, but, because the MTV store space must go with the studio space, the store will likely close.
I guess the spaces can become a decent restaurant, with great views of Time Square...moving right along...
