Can anyone answer this question about "Up with Chris Hayes"?

I've been wondering about this for a while, but my web searches haven't come up with anything. (I search using the word "building", for instance, and the matches come up with phrases about things like "building consensus".)

1. look at the tip tops of NYC buildings north of

50th St but South of Central Park, Just West of 5th Avenue...

2. Because of all of the trees I'd tried the edges of Central Park...

...but I'll give your suggestion a try too. Thanks.

4. Wiki says he broadcasts from 30 Rockefeller plaza in NY

Now the view through that window makes sense.

6. I think it's creepily distracting because at first glance it looks

like a giant claw reaching for Chris.

8. Those aren't real windows. Right?

I've looked closely at all the MSNBC sets, and sorta convinced myself those were flat panels displaying a live video feed.

9. The view through the windows changes with camera angle...

...so if they aren't real windows, they're making an unusual for a fake location backdrop.

If this is a view through real windows, however, the studio for this show can't really be at 30 Rock. There are a couple of tall building on 57th and 58th street that seem the only likely candidates for getting that particular view of Trump Parc with Central Park in the background.
