Richard O’Brien, the creative director who helped build Fox News into America’s most
watched and most trusted cable news channel, died over the weekend at the age
of 59.
Until his death, O’Brien was a senior vice president at Fox News and he played a key
role in designing the look of the network from the time it was a fledging cable channel in 1996 through its success over
the next two decades.
O’Brien died a week before he would have turned 60. He is survived by his wife, Karen,
and a son and daughter.
