The relocated AFTN station in December, l971, across from the base chapel and next to Friendship Hwy looking west.   The first floor of the hootch served as the admin offices and newsroom for the station.  The second floor was for the staff.  The radio studios were located in a Chase Manhattan trailer close to the base pool.
