As someone who works in an environment that is completely into the co-location thing and I also understand how useful it is, this makes complete sense. Los Angeles is a better city to be based in for anything related to media than Chicago - that's pretty obvious. It makes complete sense to make sure your operations are co-located. Having them in multiple cities in different times zones complicates matters and makes things less efficient.
There are many things that you could ding Chicago on in regards to the black population decreasing, but this specific move I would guarantee is not one of them. It's a product of being more efficient and picking the better city for their industry.
