Fox

Fox’s upfront was presented at the Beacon Theatre, a Broadway theatre typically used for musical performances. 

The space has also been used for telecasts of the Tony Awards as well as film premieres. 

For its presentation, Fox used two LED “towers” on either side of the stage, along with a center “cube.”

Accent lighting pointed outward dotted the space above and between the LED units. Talent and presenters could also enter from the two openings created between the three LED modules.

 The trio of structures could be used to spell out ‘Fox,’ as shown here as well as showcase branding and show logos. Additional LED panels flanked the stage along with header elements with integrated lighting. Photo by Frank Micelotta, Fox

The boxy theme was continued on the video graphics themselves — with show logos placed inside of small ‘cubbies.’ Photo by Frank Micelotta, Fox
