[NEW YORK] Roger Ailes, former chief executive of Fox News Channel, has died, a source told Reuters on Thursday.

Mr Ailes resigned from Fox News last July following allegations of sexual harassment, marking an abrupt end to his 20-year rein over America's most lucrative and powerful cable news channel for conservatives.

Mr Ailes was 77, according to Fox's website.
