NewsTalk 1010 will soon leave the corner of St.Clair Ave. and Yonge Street in Deer Park and move in with the likes of CP24 at 299 Queen St. East. This news has been winkled out by Globe and Mail writer Steve Ladurantaye and there does not appear to be any other service carrying the story at the time of this post.  NewsTalk 1010 is silent on the subject. The station has been re-branded to news and talk formatting in recent years although its history is as a music and news voice.  It has been at the present corner since the tower was built by Proctor and Gamble in a move uptown. P&G have long since gone further north. The move to Queen is on the decision of the station’s new owners, Bell Media. Yonge and St. Clair is deeply immersed in the history of CFRB. Many employees have lived nearby. A laneway from Yonge to the Alvin Ave. parking lot is named after legendary morning man Wally Crouter (lower inset).   A history of CFRB
