Tucker Carlson's state-of-the-art satellite studio is being rebuilt from scratch.
Fox employees recently visited Carlson's summer home in Maine and took it apart piece by piece.
Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show the canceled Fox News host hard at work rebuilding his studio as he prepares to launch a new version of his show on Twitter.
It remains to be seen whether Carlson's show will debut this summer due to the construction and potential legal challenges with Fox.
The Daily Mail explains:
โFox came in last week and got all their sh*t out of there,' Patrick Feeney, who is managing the work, told DailyMail.com.
โThey took the set and everything, all the equipment, the chairs, the desk, the fake walls, everything.'
Now the conservative firebrand is helping work alongside a three-man construction crew at the studio in downtown Woodstock, DailyMail.com's exclusive photos show.
Carlson, 54, spends his summers in the rural town, 55 miles west of the state capital Augusta, where Fox had built a set in an old barn so he could broadcast the show remotely. He was due to start filming from the satellite studio within a few weeks when he wasย suddenly fired by the networkย on April 24.
According to reports, Carlson is preparing to go to โwarโ with Fox News.
He's still under contract with the network, preventing him from relaunching his show for the next year and a half.
Carlson argues Fox News voided his contract after leaked videos from his popular show made their way to the press.
His attorneys say he will take legal action against the network if he's not allowed to start a new business venture before January 2025.
American Liberty News reported on a recent phone call from Fox's chief legal counsel that may help prove Carlson's breach of contract and fraud accusations:
In the letter to Chief Legal Counselย Viet Dinhย andย Irena Briganti, senior vice president of corporate communications, Carlson's legal team accused Fox employees โ even โRupert Murdochย himselfโ โ of breaking their promises to not disparage him โintentionally and with reckless disregard for the truth.โ
The Caller explained that Dinh allegedly contacted a confidant of Carlson on May 3 to express regret at how the show ended and to stress that Fox News had โnot authorizedโ any leaks.
Dinh said that network executives told Briganti she'd be terminated if she was caught leaking.
Notably, Dinh added that FNC insiders suspected a member of the board ofย Fox Corporationย was sharing the footage to generate negative press coverage and speaking to reporters without authorization.
Carlson initially believed the culprit was either former House Speakerย Paul Ryanย orย Anne Dias-Griffin, a wealthy French-American investor and philanthropist.
His team has since ruled out Ryan and believes Dias-Griffin was behind the smear campaign.
An unnamed Fox board member told Variety that Dominion Voting Systems demanded Carlson's termination as part of the network's settlement with the electronic voting company.
If Fox refused, the $787.5 million deal to settle Dominion's defamation suit would be off.
The two parties allegedly came to an agreement without any written documentation.

Cant local business in area Help, any lumber mill, Home Depot, etc?
Every man has his PRICE, right, Mr. Murdoch? Failing to cave to Dominion would have cost you your beach house in Bermuda, eh? Eh? Eh????
Re-building a broadcast studio from scratch is no joke. Professional studios are floated on Neoprene Donuts for sound isolation. That’s a whole lot of carpentry!
It’s important to be reminded that this is war!
Now it makes sense. In another article in this same page, the FBI is investigating a leftist journalist as possibly hacking FOX computers and stealing the videos that may or may not free Carlson from his contract. If he is not freed it means that he could be out of the picture until after the 2024 election so that any help he might give conservatives would be nullified.
The Carlson legal team is making claims that if FOX leaked the videos, it would be a breach of their contract and would set Tucker free to start his Twitter barrage against them and leftists. This investigation may very well indict this journalist from outside the FOX organization and end that hope.
Is this just coincidence that the FBI drops everything to investigate this guy against a pattern of unequal justice that has not favored conservative media like FOX? How can we prove it? Is FOX behind it or the permanent bureaucracy in Washington DC that pulls Biden’s strings? Is it a favor to FOX, Biden, or just payback to Carlson? In any case it is damn peculiar that all these stars align at this time.
