Why are all the drama shows like Jerry Springer in Stamford, CT?
Seems a little weird to me. Is there some really cool super secret reason why?

He used to shoot in Chicago. From wiki:
On May 19, 2009 the show recorded its last episode at WMAQ-TV's NBC Tower in Chicago, Illinois, where it had been recorded since early 1993, midway through the second season.[51] Beginning with the 2009-10 season, production was moved to the Stamford Media Center in Stamford, Connecticut. Jerry was quoted as saying he was not happy with the move, but understood the financial reasons for which it was being done, and is working to secure jobs for those on his staff who wish to move with the show.

Banks UBS and RBS moved in at the same time Stamford began re-renovating their image...again.

Tax break.

Stamford probably says "come to stamford, we'll give you tax breaks and suck your wang" and then shows go there.
