s other news i change murdoch
stepping down as the peace guide b
this uh... remember he had just been essentially uh...
been left with this is being is only portfolio
as this quickly got out of uh... bread
by stepping down it'll mean that no murdoch occupies a ta position at the
satellite broadcaster for the first time in years it's pretty huge
because of murdoch essentially had satellite broadcasting across the world
and this was going to be the crown jewel
in his
well i guess is
crown
his determination to step down at this point surprise friends
given that only a few weeks earlier james murdoch resolve to stay on its
guide
even as he relocated to new york
and gave up his job is executive chairman of news international
the publisher of the malcolm those two news of the world
the sun
and the british times
it sounds to me like uh... james murdoch
has a notion as to what his future is going to be and it doesn't look so
bright
he's also under investigation by a off com
which is the communications regulator in britain
looking at whether the satellite broadcast hermits defense improper test
in light of his stewardship of news international
failing it would mean that sky could no longer broadcast
although if murdoch leaves the board of sky completely that aspect of the test
would then
moot apparently
the murdocks own about thirty nine percent of the sky b
sloan they have long that uh...
dominated export
and so all that james is left
is with a reduced area of responsibilities in his new role in new
york city
being responsible only four non-u_s_ television interest
he's in charge of
pay-t_v_ businesses in italy
sky italia
installer in asia
another words
you're building a firewall
between james and the rest of the corporate interest
'cause it appears that james
uh...
may not be
well let's put it this way enters the james may be subjected to strip searches
in his future
