listed on the National Register of Historic Places as The Burlington Station. Since its closing, the station saw futile attempts at reopening as business offices, and as a warehouse. In 1985, the interior was gutted by an architectural salvager who removed and sold every interior fitting. The four enormous chandeliers were taken down, one of which was broken and was sold in pieces. In 2004, two investors purchased the building. Renovations were planned to transform the building through adaptive re-use into private residences called "The Burlington". When the economy fell and a real estate crisis began in 2008, low pre-sales of condos stopped the project and since then the building continued to languish with an uncertain future. As KETV's studio facility (Present) On June 5, 2013, Hearst Television announced the purchase of Burlington Station to remodel it as the broadcast facility for Omaha's ABC affiliate, KETV (channel 7), providing the station a state-of-the-art broadcast and web media facility. The building was renovated over two years, with the station moving from their current building at 27th and Douglas in late October 2015. The building's renovation was designed by Leo A Daly Company. KETV aired their first broadcast from 7 Burlington Station at 5PM on Wednesday, October 28, 2015.
