 Inheritance taxing for Murdoch watchers
Mr Murdoch controls News Corp through a company called Cruden Investments, which holds about 20% of News Corp's overall equity and 30% of voting stock, meaning that any succession plan would have to be ratified by the board in any case.

Whatever happens, and with Mr Murdoch's determination to grab a slice of the US satellite market and his appetite for deal-making showing no sign of abating, it is likely to remain a hypothetical question for some time, the succession will inevitably be far from smooth.
