The board of British Sky Broadcasting meets tomorrow and are facing a possible decision about the position of its chairman, James Murdoch, after he became embroiled in the phone hacking scandal.
It is the first board meeting since Rupert Murdoch's News Corp abandoned a takeover bid for BSkyB because of the scandal at the British tabloid News of the World.
The British papers fall within James Murdoch's responsibilities as CEO of the International division of News Corp.
The meeting comes a day ahead of publication of earnings for BSkyB, which is 39% owned by News Corp. Speculation has centered on James Murdoch's position and the possibility of a special dividend.
