The chief executive of DirecTV is in talks to return to News Corp. to be Rupert Murdoch’s second in command — a move that does not seem to jeopardize 36-year-old James Murdoch’s one day taking the reins from his father.
Chase Carey is in “serious negotiations” to rejoin News Corp., and talks have been going on for a while, but there’s no set title for him yet, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said.
The move would fill a gap at News Corp. after Peter Chernin, its president and chief operating officer, steps down June 30.
