Both Boyle and King began their careers at Fox as assistants to former FNC CEO Roger Ailes who resigned from the channel last month following a lawsuit and internal investigation into sexual harassment claims. Judy Laterza, who was Ailes’s head assistant, and who had an svp title, was among the first to depart after Ailes. They had worked together for decades. Four days after Ailes’ departure, evp Michael Clemente, who headed up a longform unit, and his No. 2 Peter Boyer, were both let go.

News Corp. executive chairman and 21st Century Fox executive co-chairman Rupert Murdoch continues as the news channel’s interim CEO. He’s been running the daily news meetings and recently moved into Ailes’ former office at company’s Sixth Avenue headquarters.
