Insider expected to take reins at Star TV

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

James Murdoch's move to London from Asia, where he turned Star TV around 
from losses of almost $100m to a modest profit in just over three years, 
creates a vacancy in Star's Hong Kong headquarters that media sources 
believe will be filled from within the group. Star has only ever appointed 
one chief from outside - Gareth Chang, Mr Murdoch's predecessor.
The pool of talent in Asia includes: Steve Askew, vice-president in charge 
of content; Michelle Guthrie, who is vice-president with responsibility for 
distribution and business development; Jamie David, who runs mainland 
operations; and Peter Mukerjea, who leads the company in India. India, 
China and Taiwan are Star's main markets and enjoy the fastest growth 
rates. Sales overall have doubled since 2000 to US$300m while profits are 
hovering around US$10m.
