FOX 5 WNYW is New York's Fox affiliate and one of the most-watched local television stations in the country. Television production operates on absolute deadlines — a live broadcast doesn't wait for a late delivery. When production equipment, set pieces, wardrobe, props, or technical gear needs to move between studios, remote broadcast locations, and production offices across the NYC metro area, the delivery has to be precise, professional, and on time every single time.
Media production logistics in NYC come with unique challenges. Remote broadcast locations change daily. Studio load-in requires security clearance and specific dock protocols. Equipment is expensive, often fragile, and needs careful handling. And the timeline is non-negotiable — if the gear isn't there when the crew is ready, the production doesn't wait. It either airs without it or the segment gets scrapped.
Xentra Transport provides on-demand and scheduled production delivery for FOX 5's NYC operations. We move production equipment, technical gear, set materials, wardrobe, and props between their studio facilities, remote broadcast locations, and production offices across the city. Our drivers are cleared for studio access, understand production timelines, and know that a delivery to a broadcast location isn't just dropping off a box — it's delivering a piece of a live television production.
For remote broadcasts, we coordinate with the production team on location details, access protocols, and timing windows. Our GPS tracking gives the production manager real-time visibility on where the delivery is and when it will arrive. For studio deliveries, our drivers know the dock procedures, freight elevator schedules, and security check-in protocols at media facilities across NYC. Every delivery is documented with proof of delivery so the production team has a record of what arrived, when, and who received it.
Xentra Transport now handles production delivery for FOX 5 WNYW across their NYC operations. Equipment arrives on time for remote broadcasts. Studio deliveries clear security and reach the correct department without the production team having to escort drivers through the building. And the production management team has a single reliable courier they can call for any delivery — from a small package of tapes to a van load of set pieces — knowing it will be handled with the professionalism and urgency that live television demands.
When your delivery is part of a production that millions of New Yorkers will watch tonight, there is no acceptable excuse for showing up late. That pressure is exactly where Xentra Transport operates best. FOX 5 trusts us with their production logistics because we've earned that trust delivery by delivery — showing up on time, handling equipment with care, and communicating proactively when anything changes.
