The board of British Sky Broadcasting is expected to decide by the end of this week whether James Murdoch should stand down as its chairman.
According to a well-placed source, there is a growing view among the company's non-executives that the burden for James Murdoch of "fighting the fires" at News Corporation - where he is in charge of European operations and is deputy chief operating officer - means that he will find it hard to devote enough time to chairing BSkyB, the largest media and entertainment company in the UK.
The likelihood is that he will be asked to stand down as chairman at least temporarily, until News International - the UK arm of News Corporation - has been stabilised.
