Turner Broadcasting Systems Inc., a Time Warner Inc. subsidiary that owns the cable news channel, shelved an earlier deal to move the broadcast studios to a 40,000-square-foot space at 6500 Wilshire Blvd. Company executives in Atlanta put the deal on hold to look at more buildings, although they may decide to stay put. Scanlan has previously said that CNN, which takes about 16 percent of the Hollywood building and has naming rights, is paying below-market rent. If CNN departs, a new tenant will probably pay higher rates. Since ScanlanKemperBard bought the CNN tower, leasing rates have risen to $2.30 a foot from $1.70 a foot a month, Scanlan said. The firm is also negotiating with a service-oriented retailer to take the building's 6,000-square-foot ground floor space for $3.25 a foot. Scanlan said that Broadreach's business plan anticipates CNN departing the building. "Now if CNN wants to stay" they're going to have to pay big for that."
