June 14, 2014…NBC’s Last Live Show Airs From Burbank
I got this note the evening of June 13, 2014 from our friend Bob Meza, who’s worked for at NBC Burbank for nearly 40 years.
“Bobby: Just so you know, tomorrow, June 14, NBC Burbank will broadcast it’s last live show, which is on Telemundo, and they will move over to Universal starting Sunday. “Days Of Our Lives” is still on the lot, but it is not an NBC owned show. “Access Hollywood” will also remain on the lot in Studio 1 probably for another year. We will be pulling equipment out next week. Bob”

so do we know what is there now or who owns it? was it renamed?
But the destruction of Radio City of the West at Sunset and Vine was even sadder–that building should have been landmarked.
that three-color logo reminds of an out-of-focus picture, and given the state of that lot today… makes sense.
I guess when I think of this place, I think of Laugh-In’s “Beautiful downtown Burbank.”

Access Hollywood Live continued to broadcast live from Studio 1 in Burbank until mid-year 2015. It was syndicated, but also aired on many of NBC O&O’s. The show was, and is, an NBCU property.
