Fox News’s most-popular host, Bill O’Reilly, is taking what he called a long-scheduled vacation after revelations of financial settlements over alleged sexual harassment.

While New York magazine reported Tuesday that 21st Century Fox Inc. CEO James Murdoch wants him to step down permanently, people familiar with Fox’s plans said O’Reilly intends to return to the “The O’Reilly Factor”. The people asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
