📺 Studio switcheroo

Clermont County • March 26, 2025

​

Good morning, Clermont County. In an era when office buildings nationwide are seeing their values plummet, a piece of Cincinnati broadcasting history is testing the market. WCPO-TV's headquarters near Eden Park has hit the sales block, with its assessed value dropping by $1.7 million since 2020. The ABC affiliate hopes to continue operating from the Gilbert Avenue building they've called home since 2004, even after the E.W. Scripps Co. finds a buyer for the 86,000-square-foot property.

On the community front, mental health innovation is getting a financial boost with the Mental Health and Recovery Board offering mini-grants of up to $3,000 per project. Meanwhile, the local arts scene continues to flourish through trailblazers like Siri Imani, whose multifaceted talents as songwriter, poet, and emcee are breaking barriers in Cincinnati's music landscape. Despite acknowledging the additional challenges faced as a woman artist, Imani remains a powerful advocate for authenticity and community-building in the creative process.

🏢 Historic TV station headquarters hits the market amid office slump. WCPO-TV's 86,000-square-foot building near Eden Park is for sale, though the ABC affiliate hopes to remain in the space after the sale. The property's assessed value has dropped from $9.6 million in 2020 to $7.9 million in 2023, reflecting a nationwide decline in office building values since the pandemic. The E.W. Scripps Co., which owns both the building and the television station, has not disclosed an asking price for the Gilbert Avenue property that WCPO has called home since 2004.

🎤 Cincinnati's Siri Imani breaks barriers as a multifaceted music powerhouse. The songwriter, poet, and emcee has become a beacon in the local music scene despite acknowledging that being a woman has made her journey more challenging. Imani encourages fellow artists to stay authentic, find their "why," and build community connections rather than altering their path to please others. She draws inspiration from numerous female artists, particularly those in City Queen Sounds and Ohio's hip-hop scene. With new music on the horizon from both her solo work and Triiibe collective, Imani hopes people see her as living proof that authenticity and community-building lead to success.
