TERRE HAUTE: Former home of WTHI coming down

The old WTHI TV & radio building is being demolished
Recently, both WTHI-TV 10 and WTHI-Hi99 FM (99.9 FM) moved to new homes ― in different locations ― in downtown Terre Haute, and the stations' old home at 918 Ohio Street is now in the process of being torn down.

WTHI-TV has a gallery of photos of the teardown in progress, and you can see the pictures by clicking here.

The 918 Ohio Street building was built in 1906 and was originally a garment factory.  It was renovated and repurposed for WTHI's TV and radio operations in 1954.  Emmis Communications moved WTHI-FM and WWVR-FM to a newly-constructed building at 925 Wabash Avenue back in August, and WTHI-TV moved to its own brand-new building at 800 Ohio Street in late October.

When demolition is completed, it's expected that the site will become a parking lot for the new 925 Wabash Avenue building which is located immediately behind 918 Ohio.
