Top Fox News executive Bill Shine resigns
by Eddie Scarry | May 1, 2017, 2:44 PM
Bill Shine, who has worked at Fox News for 20 years, has resigned as co-president.
An internal memo sent out by Rupert Murdoch, top executive of Fox's parent company, made the announcement on Monday.
"Sadly, Bill Shine resigned today," Murdoch's memo said. "I know Bill was respected and liked by everybody at Fox News. We will all miss him."
It announced that Suzanne Scott would become president of programming and Jay Wallace would become president of news.
The shakeup comes in light of an apparent overhaul at Fox following sexual harassment claims against now-former CEO Roger Ailes and anchor Bill O'Reilly.
