IN THE NEWS

No time for goodbyes: Greta Van Susteren abruptly exited Fox News Channel after 14 years. Brit Hume has temporarily taken over as anchor of On the Record, through the election. Fox News analyst Howard Kurtz reported Van Susteren had a clause in her contract allowing her to leave if Fox News chief Roger Ailes left – which he did, under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations. On her Facebook page Tuesday, Van Susteren said, “Fox has not felt like home for me for a few years and I took advantage of a clause in my contract which allows me to leave now.” As for the quick departure, Van Susteren explained her contract “had a time limitation, meaning I could not wait.”

21st Century Fox apologized for discriminatory treatment suffered by former Fox News correspondent Gretchen Carlson, as it settled the sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by Carlson that involved the aforementioned Ailes. “We are proud that she was part of the Fox News Team,” said the net. “We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve.” Said Carlson, who walks away with what sources are reporting amounts to $20 million, she’s “ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which I will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace.” At least two other women also settle with Fox, according to the New York Times.

The FCC raised the annual fee it charges DirecTV and Dish Network from 12 cents/subscriber to 27 cents/sub. While less than the $1/subscriber fee paid by cable operators, the increase is a move in the right direction, noted the American Cable Association president and CEO Matthew Polka. “The Media Bureau’s oversight and regulatory work related to cable/IPTV providers and DBS providers are similar,” said Polka. “In ACA’s view, fee parity is also essential because smaller MVPDs should not be put in a position, by government policy, of subsidizing their largest pay-TV competitors.”

Political advertising on local TV is not expected to achieve early projections, said Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser. At the end of August, spending had reached $139 million, versus $423 at this point in 2012, the last presidential election year, due in large part to lower media spending from Republican candidate Donald Trump. On a full-year basis, the total should be under $3 billion.
