NEW YORK – 21st Century Fox today announced that Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, and Chairman of Fox Television Stations, has resigned from his role effective immediately.
Rupert Murdoch will assume the role of Chairman and acting CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.
Rupert Murdoch, Executive Chairman, 21st Century Fox, said:
“Roger Ailes has made a remarkable contribution to our company and our country. Roger shared my vision of a great and independent television organization and executed it brilliantly over 20 great years.
Fox News has given voice to those who were ignored by the traditional networks and has been one of the great commercial success stories of modern media.

This does not bode well for FoxNews.
First order of business will be Murdoch calling kelly into his office (with the secretary present), and telling her something similar to the following: “I’m wise to your games and if you try to pull that sheet on me and you’ll never have a another job in media again.”.
Shame on you, Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, shame.
Wait until Sir James gets ahold of the thing!
I thought Fox News was assigned to Murdoch’s youngest son, James. This may only be for the short term, until things settle back down and stockholders feel comfortable with the new directions. I think they will regret this decision.
Well this should be interesting
Anyone else walking out?
Fox business and OANN are better than Fox News
Sounds like things will be real interesting at Fox for the near future.
OANN needs to expand
Why: It was reported in Fox News and not some left-wing blogs
Wonder if this has anything to do with the meeting/dinner Trump and Murdock had last month in Scotland.
Fox is 99% negative on Trump. Couldn’t give a damn anymore.
What is OANN?
Next thing I know, here they are, all three of them in FNC network, who is owned by some of the Saudi family...so now that Rupert is no longer involved, his sons are doing just what their father taught them how to do...
I don't know about Ailes, whether he did or didn't...with media you don't know what the truth is or isn't, so how come it took so long to keep all this, if it is true, from coming out until now? And another thing, all of a sudden Hillary is on O’Reilly’s show, did she have something to do with all of this, is this the reason FNC has hit the gutter along with CNN and MSNBC and how long before the other to be completely in the gutter along with the trash that is trying to infiltrate our minds, that's why I don't have cable and I only watch our local news...cooking programs, history when it's on channel 7 and Sunday night on channel 7, the rest of my news comes from here, whether I believe it or not is another thing...
It’s the “Old Bitch” syndrome.
Jerry Hall??
