FOX NEWS PAYOUT TO O’REILLY SAID TO BE ALMOST $25M

Bill O’Reilly, who was ousted Wednesday from his top-rated TV show on Fox News over allegations of sexual harassment, will receive almost $25 million for agreeing to leave the company, according to a person familiar with the matter. O’Reilly was one of the highest-paid TV show anchors, and this year struck a new deal that paid him between $20 million and $25 million, said the person, who asked not to be identified. The new contract limited any payout to one year’s salary, the person said.
