Its just semantics really. Wherever CNN is operating can be dubbed CNN Center. The sad part is the head honchos seem embarrassed to include "Atlanta" in the openers..... which used to be in many of the title openers. The channel used to be proud to say Atlanta. Even the anchors would say "from CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Paula Newton"...or whomever. 'Dem days are gone. Ugh.
You could still hear Paula Newton say exactly that though... she fills in as an anchor on CNNI overnights often enough, and they do still mention coming from CNN Center sometimes. I heard it just the other night! Something like "studio 4 at CNN Center in Atlanta"
And I guess CNN Center is still technically the world headquarters until it finally fully stops operating. No one ever officially took that title away. But Techwood probably will NOT get that designation.
Techwood will NOT be dubbed CNN Center. I get what you're saying, but that name is just too tied to that specific, iconic building. It will be a loss not just for CNN's history but a loss for the city of Atlanta once everyone finally moves out....
