Exec to be chairman of Fox Television Stations
Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2005 | 9:35 a.m.
NEW YORK -- Roger Ailes, the media adviser to three Republican presidents who has been chairman of Fox News Channel since its inception nine years ago, was given an additional title on Monday: chairman of Fox Television Stations.
The appointment, which was announced by Fox's parent, the News Corp., gives Ailes oversight of Fox's 35 broadcast television stations and a production studio, Twentieth Television.
As he does now, Ailes will report to Rupert Murdoch, the company's chairman and chief executive, with whom he is particularly close, and to Peter Chernin, its president and chief operating officer.
Ailes said in an interview that the first time Murdoch had discussed with him the possibility of his taking the job was Monday, over lunch at the News Corp.'s headquarters in Manhattan.
