News Corp's Jonathan Miller and Hulu CEO Jason Kilar are on the shortlist for the Chief Executive job at Yahoo Inc, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

Miller, who currently serves as News Corp's Chief Digital Officer and once ran AOL , is a close friend of Yahoo's current interim CEO, Ross Levinsohn.

The sources said that Hulu CEO Jason Kilar is also on the shortlist of Yahoo's recruitment firm, Spencer Stuart.

While Miller and Kilar are on the shortlist, Levinsohn is still in the running to take the position on a permanent basis.

Miller, Kilar and Levinsohn were not immediately available for comment. A spokesman for Yahoo's board, Charles Sipkins, declined comment.
