They are nearly there with their space, but are being held up with swapping 'spaces'

What does that mean?

Landlord-tenant stuff

 

[Gus Haynes]

I take your wording to mean that the landlord now wants them to occupy an entirely different space in the building?

 

[IanO]

The corner space is nearly built out, but it sounds like the landlord is slowing them down with completion for whatever reason and so it will be a few more weeks.

So they might actually open in 2024 yet?

A few more weeks = mid-2025 then?
The pop-up was still open when I walked by a couple of days ago.

Calgary no longer has a real newsroom on weekends as a result of staff cuts (just a couple of reporters) so Edmonton does it all.

Barring a Christmas miracle, it seems my expressed concern that the sign will again be yet again be wrong with coming in 2024 may come to pass, as the year soon draws to a close

When Polievre guts the CBC, Calgary will be the prime location - it already is for that network. Will be interesting to see what is left of the Edmonton office in City Centre.

And post media newspapers has most of their Alberta resources down South, too.

Global's predecessor ITV was based out of Edmonton and had a major presence here as opposed to elsewhere, so that may be why.

Sadly the provincial political commentary in the post media (such as it is - there are only two prominent writers left and one is already more than a decade past normal retirement) seems to be mostly down south, which is a bit odd given the Legislature is here.

National Post is owned by Chatham Asset Management; an American hedge fund whose owner is a big supporter of MAGA and Trumpism: The Post is blatantly schilling for the Conservative Party of Canada. Read what they push with a lens of skepticism.

I fail to see how they are down grading their southern station I get really tired of our station picking up report from them. There are days it seems half the local broadcast is from them.
