(Courtesy WSU) Many of Ed Murrow’s famous broadcasts to the US during World War II originated from the BBC’s Broadcasting House in London and were carried by KIRO in Seattle. (Courtesy WSU) BBC’s Broadcasting House is still in use, though it is now part of a much larger facility. Ed Murrow famously broadcast live from one of the upper decks during a Nazi air raid.
