LONDON (AP) ? Media executive James Murdoch, under pressure over his role in Britain's tabloid phone hacking scandal, has stepped down as chairman of British Sky Broadcasting PLC, the company announced Tuesday.
BSkyB said he would be replaced as chairman by Nicholas Ferguson, the previous deputy chairman. Murdoch remains a member of the BSkyB board.
It was the latest setback for Murdoch, 39, a top executive in his father Rupert Murdoch's global media empire. Murdoch ? the former head of his father's British newspaper division ? has been facing severe criticism as a result of the phone hacking scandal that brought down the company's News of the World tabloid in Britain.
Murdoch said in a letter to the BSkyB board Tuesday that he was "determined that the interests of BSkyB should not be undermined by matters outside the scope of this company."
"I am aware that my role as chairman could become a lightning rod for BSkyB and I believe that my resignation will help to ensure that there is no false conflation with events at a separate organization," he said.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which owns 39 percent of BSkyB, had no comment.
In a whirlwind of resignations and retrenchment, James Murdoch quit as chairman of News International, News Corp.'s British newspaper division in February. At the time, he indicated he was going to concentrate on managing parts of his father's extensive television businesses.
He has also stepped down from the boards of auctioneer Sotheby's and prominent pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline PLC but remains deputy chief operating officer of News Corp.
News Corp. has been struggling for months to shake off the damage from the hacking furor, which derailed its plans to take charge of the remaining 61 percent of BSkyB last summer.
James Murdoch had been widely thought to be the heir to his father's media empire, and the proposed takeover of BSkyB would have boosted his profile within the company, as well as giving News Corp. full control of a lucrative broadcaster with an extensive sports and news franchise.
Rupert Murdoch shut down the News of the World tabloid in July amid a wave of bad publicity and plummeting ad revenue due to revelations its journalists had regularly listened to the phone voicemails of celebrities, politicians and crime victims in a quest for scoops. The scandal has spawned several major police investigations into the conduct of Murdoch's media empire, as well as a judge-led public inquiry into press ethics. Scores of Murdoch journalists have been arrested, and top company executives have resigned in the scandal.
Murdoch's media have paid millions of pounds (dollars) to settle lawsuits from about 60 hacking victims, including actor Jude Law, soccer star Ashley Cole and singer Charlotte Church.
James Murdoch has repeatedly denied knowing about widespread phone hacking at the News of the World, although his account has been contradicted by former associates.
In a letter to British lawmakers last month, James Murdoch acknowledged that he could have done more to investigate wrongdoing at the tabloid but insisted he had been misled and given "false assurances" by subordinates.
James Murdoch was re-elected chairman of BSkyB in November despite a groundswell of opposition. BSkyB said Murdoch won the support of more than 81 percent of shareholders who voted, while nearly 19 percent voted against him at the company's annual meeting.
BSkyB shares were down more than 1 percent at 674 pence Tuesday afternoon.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said BSkyB shares were falling because Murdoch's departure would "cause a bit more destabilization."
Hunter said Murdoch's resignation would not necessarily indicate a waning of News Corp. commitment to the broadcaster. Hunter sees it as a personal issue for James Murdoch: "I wouldn't read anything more into it strategically."

Romney looks to sweep 3 primaries, assails Obama
MILWAUKEE (AP) ? The Republican presidential nomination all but secured, Mitt Romney bid for confirming primary victories in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia on Tuesday over a fading Rick Santorum. President Barack Obama went hard after Romney, assuming the GOP nomination fight was no longer in doubt.
There were 95 delegates at stake for the day, including 42 in Wisconsin, the only one of the three contests that Santorum seriously contested.
Even before the votes were counted, Romney was campaigning like the nominee-in-waiting, focusing on Obama and amassing endorsements from prominent officials inside the party he will lead into the general election campaign.
Romney had 572 Republican National Convention delegates, exactly half of the 1,144 needed to win the nomination, on a pace to clinch by the end of the primary season in June. Santorum had 272, Newt Gingrich had 135 and Ron Paul had 51.
Roughly 80 percent of Republicans who cast ballots in Wisconsin said in surveys as they were leaving the polls that they expected Romney to be the Republican nominee. And about four in 10 GOP voters in both Wisconsin and Maryland said the most important trait a candidate could have was the ability to defeat Obama in November.
Voters in the two states were among the least conservative to cast ballots this primary season; just three states had fewer voters calling themselves "very conservative."
Though the national economy has been improving, polls show voters are concerned about the rising cost of gasoline, and Romney is seeking to take advantage of that.
He said of Obama on Tuesday, "He gets full credit or blame for what's happened in this economy, and what's happened to gasoline prices under his watch and what's happened to our schools and what's happened to our military forces." Romney spoke to supporters in Waukesha, Wis.
Earlier, in an interview with Fox News, he said it was important for his party "to get a nominee as soon as we can and be able to focus on Barack Obama." He blamed President George H. W. Bush's 1992 loss to Bill Clinton on Ross Perot, who ran as an independent and presumably took Republican votes from Bush in the general election.
Obama was in full campaign mode, too, speaking to the annual meeting of The Associated Press in Washington. He accused the Republicans of trying to force a "radical vision" on the nation with proposals that would help the rich at the expense of the middle class, senior citizens, students and the poor.
He said the GOP was so out of control that Ronald Reagan "could not get through a Republican primary today."
Wisconsin was the fourth industrial state to vote in a little more than a month after Michigan, Ohio and Illinois, a string that Romney has exploited to gain momentum as well as a growing delegate lead in the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
The former Massachusetts governor won a close Michigan primary on Feb. 28, then an even closer one in Ohio a week later, followed by a convincing victory in Illinois on March 20. At each turn, he was backed by his own robust, well-financed organization as well as a deep-pocketed super PAC that assured him of an overwhelming advantage in television advertising.
In Wisconsin, Romney and the super PAC, Restore Our Future, spent roughly $3 million on television ads compared to about $850,000 for Santorum and the Red, White and Blue Fund, a super Pac that supports the former Pennsylvania senator. Much of the Romney-aligned super Pac advertising consisted of attacks on Santorum.
As was the case in Michigan and Ohio, private polling showed Romney trailing in Wisconsin a few weeks before the vote. But he overtook his rival in public surveys as the televised attacks took their toll.
Already, the early outlines of a general election ad war are visible. Obama's re-election campaign is airing commercials in a half-dozen battleground states that accuse Romney of siding with Big Oil "for their tax breaks, attacking higher mileage standards and renewables."
The ads are a rapid response to $3 million in commercials aired by an outside group, American Energy Reliance, blaming the president for rising gasoline prices.
In his campaign for the Republican nomination, Romney has collected endorsements from former President George H.W. Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a tea party favorite, and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, author of a conservative budget that Republicans pushed through the House last week and is certain to play a prominent role in the fall campaign for the White House.
At the same time, Romney continues to struggle for support from some of the party's most reliable conservative voters. In the past five weeks, while winning across the Midwest, he has lost to Santorum in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, all part of the traditional Southern political base.
Santorum made little or no effort in Maryland, was not on the ballot in Washington, D.C., and concentrated much of his time in Wisconsin in rural areas. He all but conceded defeat in advance in Wisconsin, retreating to Mars, Pa., for an election night appearance in his home state.
Pennsylvania is one of five Northeastern states with primaries on April 24, the next date on the Republican calendar after a three-week intermission.
Santorum has conceded he's not going to amass the delegates needed to win the nomination by the time convention opens, but his strategy ? and hope ? is to prevent Romney from doing so. Campaigning in Appleton, Wis., on Monday, he said a struggle at the convention over the nomination would be a "fascinating display of open democracy" and would encourage more Republican voters to participate in the election.
Romney wants no part of an open convention, and increasingly, senior party leaders agree and are willing to say so.
With all the endorsements Romney has received in recent days, a non-endorsement from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell got attention, too.
"It seems to me we're in the final phases of wrapping up this nomination," he said over the weekend, adding that most members of the party in the Senate "are either supporting him or they have the view that I do, that it's time to turn our attention to the fall campaign and begin to make the case against the president of the United States."
The surveys of voters in Maryland's and Wisconsin's GOP presidential primaries were conducted for AP and the television networks by Edison Research. This includes preliminary results among 735 voters interviewed Tuesday as they left their polling places at 25 randomly selected sites in Maryland, and among 1,063 Wisconsin voters as they left 35 polling places across the state. Results from Maryland have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points; it is 4 for the Wisconsin survey.
