James Murdoch Quits As BSkyB Chairman
James Murdoch has stepped down as the chairman of Sky in a bid to minimise the fall-out from the scandals which are affecting News Corp.
The post was the last major role held in Britain by James Murdoch, who has faced growing pressure over what he knew about the illegal accessing of voicemails at the now-closed News of the World.
The satellite broadcaster, which is 39% owned by Rupert Murdoch's US-based News Corp, announced that James would be replaced by deputy chairman Nicholas Ferguson.
He will stay on as a non-executive director of BSkyB, the company added.
