21st Century Fox’s Chase Carey Expected to Retire

Financial Times: Chase Carey’s days may be numbered at 21st Century Fox, with a contract that expires in June 2016 and an option to leave this December. Publicly, at least, the COO has not shown interest in signing a new deal. The word on Wall Street is that he has decided to retire. Lined up to succeed him is Rupert Murdoch’s youngest son, James. He has a long record in the family business having run Star, its Asian television group, Sky and News International (now known as News UK), which operates the portfolio of newspapers owned by Fox’s sister company, News Corp.
