Late in the night, word spread on Twitter that Global Revolution TV was being evicted from their Brooklyn production studio. Global Revolution has been a constant source for live video coverage of Occupy Wall Street events, both in NYC and across the country.

The eviction notice seen above was later posted by @glassbeadcol on Twitter, and shows that the Department of Buildings has deemed the conditions in the building as being perilous to life. The text of the eviction notice is included below:
