Who Built the Better Together Set on TBN?
Behind The Build of The Talk Show’s Unique Studio Design
If you’ve ever watched the show and wondered who built the Better Together set on TBN, chances are it’s because it’s not something you’re used to seeing on daytime talk TV.
The custom-built, 360-degree television studio environment waas designed to feel like a real space instead of a TV stage illusion.
Similar to the successful collaboration for Turning Point Ministries’ TV set, Fuller Street provided innovative fabrication solutions for this faith-based talk show, ensuring a seamless blend of aesthetics, functionality, and high-quality broadcast integration.
For Better Together on TBN, Fuller Street partnered with the set designer to fabricate a broadcast set to rethink the standards of a daytime television studio. Instead of hiding the mechanics of production, the goal was to create a space that could be filmed from nearly every angle cleanly, cohesively, and camera-ready from all sides.
Designing a True 360 Degree Daytime TV Set for Better Together
Most talk shows rely on illusion with a central hero wall, strict sight angles, and plenty of off-camera space. The Better Together TV set was designed to work differently.
The production team desired a near 360-degree studio layout that behaved more like architecture than stage scenery. There are no dead zones or unfinished surfaces, and no visual drop-offs. Every angle had to hold up on camera.
That meant:
- A layout that allows hosts and guests to move naturally
- Continuous, camera-ready finishes
- Technical systems integrated into the structure, and not visibly layered on the surfaces
This is experiential fabrication applied to broadcast set design. The result is a custom television set design that operates as a thoughtfully designed interior yet still functions with the precision of a professional studio.
Highlight Features of the Better Together Set
Centralized Rotating Stage for Hosts and Guests
At the heart of the Better Together set is the main stage, built as a rotating centerpiece where the host, co-hosts, and guests sit. This keystone element supports fluid blocking and dynamic camera coverage while maintaining an intimate, conversational feel. It’s both a visual anchor and a functional tool for the multi-camera TV production.
Integrated PTZ Cameras
The set incorporates integrated PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, supporting smooth transitions and flexible coverage without disrupting the environment. This design integration allows the show to maintain a polished, high-end look while preserving the natural flow of discussion, which was a key requirement for the Christian talk show production.
Custom Wave-Finish Set Walls
The walls feature custom-finished surfaces with a wave design, adding depth, texture, and visual movement on camera. These hand-detailed finishes interact with lighting to prevent flatness, giving the set a dimensional quality that enhances the broadcast studio backdrop from every angle.
LED Lighting Inlays
This modern TV studio build utilizes integrated LED lighting inlays. These provide flexible color and mood control, allowing the production team to shift tone across segments while maintaining a warm, inviting aesthetic aligned with the show’s format.
Patterned Ceiling for Diffusion
The patterned ceiling design is both aesthetic and technical. It adds visual interest while helping diffuse light evenly across the 360 degree environment, a critical component in a set with few places to hide lighting infrastructure.
Integrated Bookshelves with Custom Pattern
Custom bookshelves with a geometric pattern add texture and functionality, reinforcing the design language of the space while providing layered depth for camera shots.
Space for LED Wall & Graphics Integration
The set was fabricated with future adaptability in mind, including space for an LED wall and print graphics. This ensures the Better Together studio can evolve visually without major reconstruction.
Rethinking the Daytime TV Living Room
Visually, the set evokes the comfort of a living room as opposed to a decorative stage. Instead of relying on flat scenic pieces, the design treats the entire footprint as a cohesive and immersive environment.
This approach reflects a shift in television set design, where studios borrow from experiential environments, museums, and branded spaces. The set must feel authentic, durable, immersive, and believable.
For Better Together, that meant building a semi-permanent studio set robust enough for daily use, yet refined enough to hold up under bright studio lighting and multi-directional camera coverage.
More Than a Backdrop
The Better Together set demonstrates how custom TV set fabrication can elevate a program beyond traditional talk show visuals. By combining architectural thinking, scenic craftsmanship, and integrated broadcast technology, the space supports both production demands and on-screen storytelling.
So for all those wondering, Who built the Better Together set on TBN? – the answer is Fuller Street, a Los Angeles-based fabrication shop, built the 360 degree broadcast environment that helps define a new visual standard for faith-based daytime television.

Choosing the Right Fabrication Partner
For brands and agencies, selecting a fabrication partner is less about finding a vendor and more about adding a problem-solving engine to the team.
Key considerations include:
Experience: Scenic fabrication for live events has high demands and expectations. Can the partner you’re considering meet them?
Technical aptitude: In-house engineering, drafting, and scenic capabilities will reduce friction and ultimately overhead.
Collaboration: The best outcomes come from open dialogue between creative, production, and fabrication from day one.
Knowledge: Do they know what they’re doing, and more importantly do they know how to get it done in dense markets with familiarity of venues, permitting, and logistics?
The right choice will save you both time and budget in the end.
Experiential fabrication may operate behind the scenes, but it’s central to how modern brands show up in the physical world. As expectations for live experiences grow, the collaboration between creative vision, technical design, and fabrication craft will define which events are merely attended—and which are remembered.
