Tucker Carlson’s Woodstock, Maine recording studio, where the former Fox host broadcast his show during the summer, was reportedly left in shambles by Fox News personnel right as he was poised to bring his content to Twitter, according to a Wednesday report.
According to The Daily Mail, the studio, a converted barn, must now be largely rebuilt. Patrick Feeney, the man managing the project for Carlson, told reporters, “Fox came in last week and got all their sh*t out of there.”
“They took the set and everything, all the equipment, the chairs, the desk, the fake walls,” he added.
Carlson reportedly has crews working to shore up the studio, repairing infrastructure, and readying the building to be re-outfitted with the necessary technology and sets.
“There’s no hardware in place at all,” Feeney told Daily Mail. “There’s not even an infrastructure for a TV studio for a long time.”
He explained that his employer largely spends the year in Florida, having recently returned to the Maine town where he owns a home on a nearby lake. “He just got back late last night after meeting with lawyers and all that stuff. As you can imagine, he’s very, very busy right now.”
Carlson promised that his iconic show would be returning on the Twitter platform during a record-shattering video announcement of barely three minutes, timed to coincide with his former timeslot, which ratings-wise clobbered his former network. As of this report it has been viewed over 132 million times.
