James Murdoch re-elected to BSkyB board

MUMBAI: James Murdoch has been reappointed as a director of UK pay TV service provider BSkyB with the support of 95 per cent of shareholders at the company‘s annual general meeting.

James Murdoch had stepped down as chairman in April after the phone hacking scandal at News of the World tabloid. Murdoch now serves as a non-executive director.
 
At BSkyB‘s previous annual meeting a noise was made over how Murdoch had dealt with the phone hacking scandal. The phone-hacking scandal forced News Corp. to pull its bid to take full control of BSkyB.
