A British banker once described for me what happened when Rupert Murdoch decided to make then 31-year-old son James the CEO of BSkyB, the UK satellite television company managed by News Corp but in which it holds only a minority stake. (News Corp is now trying to buy all of BSkyB.) There was a huge and predictable cry from other shareholders that Murdoch was autocratically imposing his son on the company. It was a tense moment in which the younger Murdoch might have been turned out and News Corp’s grip on BSkyB loosened.
