1211 Sixth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space along the Avenue of the Americas in Midtown, home to Fox News studios and other media organizations. The outdoor plaza provides public space near one of the major media headquarters corridors in the city.
The News Corporation building at 1211 Sixth Avenue has been a fixture of the Midtown media landscape, with Fox News broadcasting from studios in the building. The POPS outside the building has occasionally served as a backdrop for live broadcasts.
Sixth Avenue between 47th and 50th Streets is sometimes called 'Media Row' for its concentration of television networks, publishing houses, and entertainment companies. The POPS along this stretch serve the industry's workforce and visitors.
The plaza's location near Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and the Top of the Rock observation deck means it sees tourist traffic year-round, particularly during the holiday season.
This POPS serves the dual function of corporate plaza and public gathering space in one of the most media-saturated blocks in the world.
