The sons want him out; the old man is holding on tight. But...

It looks to me like Billo's days may be numbered, especially given this little nugget.

Another factor: the Murdochs’ pending $14 billion takeover of European pay-TV provider Sky. On May 16, the British media regulator Ofcom is set to judge whether the Murdochs are “fit and proper” to own such a large media property. Removing O’Reilly could appease critics and help close the Sky deal. (In 2011, the Murdochs abandoned their initial takeover offer for Sky after the London phone-hacking scandal.)

Add to that the advertiser fall-off; protests in front of the studio and what's looking more and more like a revolt brewing among Fox's female staffers, and we have us the workings of a swift O'Reilly departure.
