Broadcast Row
Black Rock is part of a virtual Broadcast Row on Sixth Avenue. The NBC headquarters—the GE Building in Rockefeller Center, home of NBC News and MSNBC (since moved from Secaucus, New Jersey in 2007)—is located south of Black Rock, on Sixth Avenue at 50th Street. South of CBS and NBC, Fox News Channel and Business unit has its headquarters and streetside studios in the former Celanese building at 1211 Sixth Avenue at News Corporation lot, in the west extension of Rockefeller Center.
Prior to its acquisition by Capital Cities Communications, the American Broadcasting Company's headquarters was at 1330 Sixth Avenue (corner of 54th Street), two blocks north of CBS. In the mid-1980s, ABC moved to West 66th Street and Columbus Avenue, just west of Central Park, in the neighborhood where the network already has many TV and radio studios.
The local cable channel SportsNet New York has its own streetside studios on the first floor of the Time & Life Building in Rockefeller Center west, on Sixth Avenue at 51st Street, just across from CBS. The studio was previously occupied by Time and Life magazines' sister Time Warner division CNN, and CNN's breakfast show American Morning. The program has since moved north to CNN's New York bureau at Columbus Circle.

“When people ask me how I develop recipes, I have to respond: “travelling, eating, watching, experimenting, and constantly asking myself: ‘Do I want to eat this dish again?’” Will I yearn for it some evening when I’m hungry? Will I remember it in six months’ time? In a year? Five years from now?”
