By Mark Joyella 

Fox and a production company have settled a $4.5 million lawsuit over the decision not to pick up a reality series for Fox Business Network.

Fox News and the production company, Leftfield Pictures, announced “an amicable and confidential settlement” filed in the Supreme Court of New York. Neither party admitted any wrongdoing or liability.

Leftfield sued Fox last year, claiming production had begun on the series for FBN when the network terminated the agreement.
