Those two stages are newer, but they lack the facilities of the main studio building and couldn’t really function without them, or without major changes to what exists. As a basic example, there isn’t enough room outside the studio doors to store the set pieces (for Real Time or TPIR) when not in use. There is no commissary, no set construction or wardrobe area, and no equipment to actually transmit from the studios to the outside world.
