Detroit Public T.V. moving back into Detroit

So glad they are moving back,,Never understood so many years ago why they moved from New Center to Wixom,

According to the article:
" Nearly 20 years ago, it announced its move to Wixom, driven by a federal mandate at the time to convert to digital television broadcasting."

That doesn't make a bit of sense. Channels 2, 4, 7, 20, 50 and 62 managed to transition to digital without moving into a new studio. If anything, the new digital gear is much smaller than the old analog equipment. At the time of the switchover, the NewTek Tricaster was available, which could run a small TV station from a box the size of a microwave oven. I saw promos showing a network scale TV station being run from a single 19" rack of gear and a single switcher desk.
