Emmy winner helped start FNC


August 16, 2007 Chet Collier, the former "Mike Douglas Show" producer who later led Westinghouse Broadcasting and had a hand in forming the Fox News Channel, died Wednesday at his home in Florida after a long illness. Collier's death was announced Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Studio B With Shepard Smith." Smith spoke admiringly of Collier and read an e-mail from FNC chief executive Roger Ailes who said in part, "Chet Collier never took any credit for himself, but we couldn't have accomplished everything we did without him."
