As we have noted, former Fox News host and GBTV founder Glenn Beck recently moved his studio from New York to Dallas, Texas.

One of the biggest benefits of being in Texas is the space. There’s lots of it. GBTV is putting that space to effective use, building out its studio in ways that could not be done in New York. Among them is a new area where Beck will promote advertisers and sponsors, taking the formula that has worked on radio for 100 years and trying to make it transfer to video.

There is also a full-size replica of the Oval Office, featuring replicas of The Resolute Desk and the Oval Office rug. Some of the props even came from the set of Oliver Stone‘s film “JFK.”

Watch Beck show off his new studio in this exclusive video:

In this episode of “Cubes,” we tour the worldwide headquarters of IPG Mediabrands, the media holding company responsible for $34 billion in global revenue from advertising agencies such as Universal McCann. IPG’s work includes the Geico Gecko and Volkswagen’s pint-sized Darth Vader.

The IPG headquarters is home to a cutting edge media lab full of “Minority Report”-esque marketing technology, and the office includes a high-tech workspace dubbed “the desk of the future” and a skyway stretching over 32nd Street that was once used by the Gimbels department story, the building’s previous tenant.

Longtime political columnist Frank Rich, now an editor at New York, recently sat down for an interview with mediabistroTV and discussed his role in the making of the new HBO series “Veep.”

“Veep,” which stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the U.S.’s flustered second-in-command, includes a character whose “Beltway Butcher” nickname is an homage to Rich’s reputation as the “Butcher of Broadway” during his time as chief theater critic for The New York Times (video below).
