FOX CHIEF QUITS AFTER WINS, LOSSES

LOS ANGELES - Fox Broadcasting Co. Chairwoman Lucie Salhany has resigned after an 18-month period during which Fox won a key National Football League contract but also saw ratings drop and Chevy Chase flop in late-night.

She became the first woman to lead a broadcasting network when she was named to the Fox post in January 1993.

Owner Rupert Murdoch's growing dissatisfaction with the network's - and Salhany's - performance reportedly led to her resignation and the corporate reorganization announced Thursday.
