‘America’s Newsroom’ moves to Studio E

FNC’s “America’s Newsroom” moved into a new home Sept. 28, 2026, while also unveiling an updated graphics package.

The show had been broadcast from Studio J on the 12th floor of the Fox building in New York since 2018 but moved into Studio E, located on the first floor. 

The space has been updated with a new set. For “Newsroom,” hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino now sit in front of a curved video wall that shows a looping background depicting the network’s newsroom, which also opened in 2018.

This background is similar to the one that appeared on the video wall behind the desk in Studio J. For that version, the network had already been modifying an actual image of the newsroom a bit — with tweaks to what appeared in various monitors.

In Studio E, the background adds bolder streaks of blue and red while also eliminating the blonde wood tones that were included in the original physical space. Similar wood surfaces appeared on the Studio J set.

The perspective of the background has also shifted a bit, making it feel as though the hosts are sitting closer to the actual space while also eliminating the mostly empty workstations in the foreground.

Due to Studio E being in a space not originally designed as a studio, there is a large structural column that has been incorporated into the set. 

For this redo, home base has been tucked in nearby with additional spaces on either side. One, camera left, features a sculptural wall with backlit panels and a vertical strip of LED designed around a paddle-like motif. 

Farther to the right is an area with three LED video towers that are used to showcase topical graphics that are then shot, video on video style, with a camera. 

Over camera right is an alcove-like space that includes another video wall encased in a top-heavy organic surround. There is also a spot for a movable monitor, which could be one of the technology updates Hemmer mentioned when introducing the new space.

During this segment, he hinted that the space includes a new version of the network’s “Bill-board,” an interactive touchscreen that Hemmer is known for using to break down elements of a story.

The studio also includes a striking floor-to-header curved LED video wall that is also used for video on video shots.

That structure column, meanwhile, has been clad in a gray surface with reveal lines and outfitted with a paddle-shaped LED element on one side. The show already started using this element as a way to tease upcoming content. 

The red, white and blue palette used in the on-set graphics and backlit panel lighting cues ties back to the show’s updated graphics.

The show title now appears in Futura, the network’s signature font, with the word “Newsroom” in bolder type and monitor wall texture, which is an element carried over from the previous look.

The graphics themselves combine blocks of red and blue with oversized “A,” “N” and “&” symbols. A mixture of patriotic and U.S. city imagery appears in the open. There’s also a collection of microtext and smaller square and star accents. 

It also incorporates a view of a simplified 3D model of the studio in both the open and select stingers and bumps.

‘America’s Newsroom’ moves to ‘jazzy’ new Studio J

During the first day on the new set, Perino joked that the “E” in “Studio E” stood for “excellence,” though Hemmer said he thinks it should stand for “Elvis,” apparently continuing the music theme from when he proclaims “Studio J” stood for “jazzy.”
