Fox Stations Defend Anchor’s Termination Amid Sex-Discrimination Suit

Fox and Detroit’s WJBK counter claims that former anchor Taryn Asher was terminated for unprofessional behavior and on-air outbursts, while disputing her gender-bias allegations in a federal suit filed in June. The filing notes Asher complained in 2025 about unequal treatment compared with male co-anchor Roop Raj and was removed from anchor duties but remained employed for a period; Fox says her conduct justified dismissal. The case also contrasts timelines for her termination (Nov. 2025 vs. June 2026 in the filing), impacts of a non-compete clause, and a dispute over returning a station laptop, with Asher’s attorney asserting gender discrimination and retaliation.

Fox Keeps NFL Rights Stable Through 2029, Eyes 2030 Outlook

Fox will stand pat on its NFL rights deal through 2029, not paying more for the next four seasons and only signaling interest in talks for 2030 onward; the NFL’s current packages with Fox, NBC, Amazon and YouTube could end after 2029, with ESPN/ABC potentially exiting after 2030 and CBS under terms through 2029, while Lachlan Murdoch says the relationship is positive and there is a clear path forward. If other networks also stand pat, the next rights cycle could get complex, but a new, high-value slate of deals is expected for all parties.
