Comcast Corp. has announced the construction of a new skyscraper in Philadelphia that will be home to up to 4,000 employees, including the newsrooms and studios of NBC’s WCAU and Telemundo’s WWSI. The 59-story Comcast Innovation and Technology Center will be located at 1800 Arch St. Construction is set to begin this summer and to be completed by the end of 2017. WCAU’s relocation to the new building will be its first move in 62 years. WWSI, the Telemundo station recently acquired by NBC Universal, will also move into the building. Both stations are currently located on City Line Avenue in Bala Cynwyd. -TVSpy

NBC 10 Abandons Nonstop Philadelphia Channel Early for Cozi TV

NBC 10 has dropped the programming on its local entertainment channel Nonstop Philadelphia. It will be replaced by a new channel from NBC Universal Cozi TV. The new channel will feature classic drama, action and comedy shows. Get ready for shows like Charlie Angels, Magnum P.I., and The Beverly Hillbillies. It was originally slated to begin in January. The decision itself came from the parent company, NBC Universal, which has launched Cozi TV in several markets across the country including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

The new channel is promoting itself through social media. They say 'it will be easier on your eyes and easier on your mind.' Cozi TV will be found on the same place as the former Nonstop Philadelphia. That would be on 10.2 digital, 248 on Comcast and 460 on Verizon FIOS channels.

I for one will miss "Talk Stoop" from NBC 4 in New York and the locally produced "Foodies" with NBC 10 reporter Tim Furlong. The new Cozi TV channel will allow for local programming to pre-empt network programming. Here's hoping 'Foodies" returns on Cozi.
