James Murdoch Could Leave BSkyB

James Murdoch, chief executive of BSkyB, could leave the satellite broadcaster in the summer in order to take up a position at News Corp.

According to a report in the Mail On Sunday, Murdoch will be replaced at Sky by the head of Sky Italia, Tom Mockridge.

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).
