LONDON (Reuters) - James Murdoch looks set to survive a board meeting of BSkyB on Thursday even as questions multiply from other quarters over whether his role in a phone-hacking scandal leave him a fit chairman of the satellite broadcaster.
It will be the first meeting of the BSkyB board since the crisis forced News Corp to close the News of the World newspaper, drop a $12 billion bid for BSkyB and offer up James and his father Rupert to answer questions in the British parliament.
As well as being non-executive chairman and former chief executive of BSkyB, James Murdoch is deputy chief operating officer of News Corp, which owns 39 percent of BSkyB as well as the News of the World tabloid at the center of the furor.
