Murdoch's son named as BSkyB chief

Satellite broadcaster BSkyB has named media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's son
James as its new chief executive.

The 30-year-old head of Star TV will take over with immediate effect from
Tony Ball, who announced his intention to step down in September.

James Murdoch will work alongside his father Rupert, who is chairman of
BSkyB.

Murdoch senior's News Corporation business owns 35% of BSkyB.

Nice to see that one can now start at the top and quickly become CE of
a giant company, as long as you are your father's son.
In the old days you had to actually work a bit, prove your worth and
be accepted by a majority of the shareholders.

Nepotism is not clearly not dead but thankfully the old man soon will
be.

Having known a couple of people who have had senior board level positions
in FTSE companies (including one at Sky) I do feel obliged to point out that,
at least from my sample of 2, these people work unbelievably hard and
are under enormous stress, it's just a different world. I'm not sure that I
could handle the level of stress and sheer long hours involved for more than
a few months, it is a level beyond what I experience in my job (and my job is
considered unusually high stress and long hours).

The city and shareholders will never tollerate a company like Sky standing still,
JM needs to do more than just maintain the status quo, he needs to keep Sky
growing.

Now, as for "...the yobs that play footie", I'm with you 100% on that one!
