It's not that far from the action. But the real estate is much cheaper. From a business standpoint I can see why. It’s right across the river from Manhatten. It’s not that far from the action.

Sort of like anchoring a space shuttle take-off from Louisiana--no reason you can't do it, but, just, strange. Just strikes me as odd to HQ your business news channel not in NYC but in another state.
