<title>WPIX Beats Age-Discrimination Suit Against Former News Director</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-65552" title="PIX11_Logo" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/files/2012/08/PIX11_Logo.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="175" />We&#8217;ve reported about the recent ratings win for WPIX. But the Tribune flagship also has a victory in the legal world.</p>
<p>A jury Wednesday, in its second day of deliberations, ruled against former Channel 11 news director <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Karen-Scott-profile.html">Karen Scott</a></strong>. She had claimed that her 2009 firing was age-related. Scott, who turned 60 before being let go, worked 16 years at WPIX.</p>
<p>The station argued that Scott was dismissed due to weak ratings and declining ad revenues.</p>
<p>Scott sought $4.5 million in her lawsuit. Scott&#8217;s lawyer, <strong>Kenneth Rubenstein</strong>, says no decision has been made on whether his client will appeal, <em>Newsday</em> reports.</p>
<p>WPIX weekend anchor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kaity-Tong-profile.html">Kaity Tong</a></strong>, who turned <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wpix-anchor-kaity-tong-takes-stand-in-former-boss-age-discrimination-suit_b64993">65 last month</a>, and veteran reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Marvin-Scott-profile.html">Marvin Scott</a></strong>, 74, were among the witnesses who testified in Manhattan Federal Court.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wpix-catches-wnyw-in-july-morning-race_b65072">WPIX</a> is not out of the woods yet. Channel 11 and former station general manager (and current WLNY GM) <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Betty-Ellen-Berlamino-profile.html">Betty Ellen Berlamino</a></strong> face similar age-discrimination lawsuits from former sports anchor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Sal-Marchiano-profile.html">Sal Marchiano</a></strong> and one-time features reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Larry-Hoff-profile.html">Larry Hoff</a></strong>, the <em>New York Post</em> writes.</p>
