BSkyB boss to step down

LONDON SEPT. 23. The chief executive of British satellite broadcaster BSkyB is to step down, the company said today, following reports that the son of media magnate Rupert Murdoch is being lined up for the post.

Tony Ball, who has overseen a doubling of subscriber numbers since taking over in mid-1999, will not renew his existing contract, BSkyB said in a statement.

Mr. Ball will step down when a successor is appointed, "which is likely to be well before his current contract ends'' in May next year, it added. — AFP
