James Murdoch, chief executive of BSkyB, could leave the satellite broadcaster in the summer in order to take up a position at News Corp.
The US based News Corp is headed by James Murdoch’s father, Rupert.
The Office of Fair Trading recently issued a statement asking for interested parties to comment on the deal which saw BSkyB acquire a 17.5% stake in ITV (see OFT Asks Interested Parties To Comment On Sky/ITV Deal).
