A Manhattan federal jury cleared television station WPIX of age discrimination against its former news director.

Karen Scott had filed a $4.5 million lawsuit against the station. Her lawyer said she hasn't decided if she will appeal.

She claimed she was fired after turning 60.

The Tribune-owned Channel 11 said it fired Scott because of poor ratings and declining ad revenues.

The jury reached its verdict on Wednesday.
