Fox execs leave Sky Deutschland board as Sky chiefs join

21st Century Fox president Chase Carey and Fox International Channels Europe and Africa president Jan Koeppen are stepping down from the board of pay TV operator Sky Deutschland following its acquisition by Sky, formerly known as BSkyB, to form a new pan-European pay TV giant.

Carey and Koeppen will leave the board when their current terms expire on November 19.

BSkyB has nominated chief executive Jeremy Darroch and chief financial officer Andrew Griffith to join the Sky Deutschland board through its Sky German Holdings subsidiary.
