Fox News Postpones Return to Office Again Amid Pandemic

The network, which had targeted June 15 for a return, will now be working from home "through at least the end of July."

Fox News Channel is not coming back to the office on June 15, as parent company Fox Corp had originally targeted.

Instead, the network is extending its remote work timeline "through at least the end of July," Fox Corp HR head Kevin Lord said in a Friday morning memo that was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Lord cited "the well-being of our workforce as a guide" for making the extension decision.

"This new timing for our first phase of reopening will ensure that our physical locations are prepared, our new safety procedures are implemented, and our on-floor experience and protocols are in place before you are on site again," Lord wrote. "Rest assured that we will provide you with ample notice before we begin reopening."

Fox does "not expect [its] full workforce to be back on site in a pre-COVID manner until the fall at the earliest," the executive said in the memo.
