Rupert Murdoch has named company veterans Jack Abernethy and Bill Shine as co-presidents to lead Fox News after chief executive officer Roger Ailes resigned last month following sexual harassment allegations.
Abernethy is chief executive of Fox Television Stations and Shine is senior executive vice president at Fox, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox.
Both men worked at Fox when it launched in 1996. They will report to Murdoch, who has been running the day-to-day operations of the cable network on an interim basis. The appointments are effective immediately, Fox said.
