anchor desk

Broadcaster's command post

The anchor desk is the desk or table where news anchors sit during a broadcast, typically positioned prominently in the studio facing the cameras.

By extension, it refers to the anchor position itself—the role of leading a newscast: She worked her way up from local reporter to the anchor desk at a major network.
