FOX5 DC Studio Headquarters is part of a massive urban development in Bethesda, MD, a 2.5 year project where Provost Studio brought the best in broadcast to a mixed-use destination.
At 10,000 square feet, the space includes both virtual and physical studios as well as a main newsroom. The studio features informal presentation spaces and movable platforms, a performance area, a functional kitchen, and a main anchor area that includes an 8-by-22-foot curved LED wall. The wall splits in half and rotates 270 degrees, providing different ways to frame the shot and present content in the space.
The newsroom features three main on-camera zones including an informal interview area, social media stand-up area and main news desk. The main presentation desk spins and pivots like a turntable would, giving the director the ability to change the background by rotating the desk.
Provost Studio equipped FOX5 DC with a studio that exemplifies the newsrooms of the future.
