@Peter K. O’Connell: We did consider Studio 8H for the list since it certainly has some great unique features such as the staircase that turns into anchor desk and the projection cube, but I personally felt the design was lacking a bit on the perimeter of the set, including the large expanses of rather plain monitor walls. Not to say this wasn’t a great set; it just wasn’t quite as cohesive as it could have been.

Just for the record, Fox Business looks out onto Midtown Manhattan and Rockefeller Center. Downtown Manhattan is located near Wall Street.

I would have said either the Fox Business Channel Studio G set or looking back the Fox News 8H set.

These were massive but also completely unique designs unlike many sets at any level of broadcast.

Best always,
