Belmont was only partially complete and had an estimated cost of $175 million to $228 million when approximately 60% of the brand new and never occupied buildings were demolished in December 2004. The Full Disclosure Network was the only media to cover and videotape the never publicized demolition.

After a decade of controversy, investigations, lawsuits, demolition and revisions, Belmont is still incomplete but being expanded.

Full Disclosure network(R) programs have been billed as “the news behind the news” for the past fifteen years. In 2002 the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences presented a local public affairs Emmy to the program for special series entitled “L. A.’s War Against Terrorism.
