Fox 5's new location at The Wilson office tower at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue doesn't have a ground floor broadcast studio, but is already taking full advantage of the downtown Bethesda view. While Fox 5 is branded as a Washington, D.C. station, the skyline viewers were seeing this past weekend was that of downtown Bethesda, not the typical Washington Monument/U.S. Capitol tableau often seen in background graphics on D.C.-area news broadcasts.
Yes, that is the Hyatt Bethesda hotel, the Chevy Chase Trust building, JBG Smith's new 8001 Woodmont, and even the roof of the historic bank building at the crossroads of Wisconsin, East-West Highway and Old Georgetown Road - among many others. It turns out that grand view of The Wilson and The Elm drivers see as they approach the Bethesda Metro Center from the north is just as impressive in the opposite direction.

That's pretty unexpected and cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the description. I was thrilled to see Fox5 DC had finally moved to Bethesda after five years in the making.
