Lachlan Murdoch is Ten Network chairman

MUMBAI: Lachlan Murdoch is Ten Network chairman of the board. He had joined the commercial broadcaster?s board in late 2010 after becoming its largest shareholder.

Murdoch will replace Brian Long.

Murdoch said, "I look forward to working with the board and our new CEO to re-shape Ten and to improve its performance for the benefit of all shareholders".

Long said: ?The board is pleased that Lachlan has agreed to accept the role of non-executive chairman. His extensive media experience will provide Ten with invaluable strategic leadership. As Interim CEO he reset Ten?s strategic vision and cost base and was instrumental in recruiting Ten?s new chief executive officer, James Warburton.?

The Board believes that the combined media capability of James Warburton as Ten?s CEO and Lachlan Murdoch as non-executive chairman provides the best opportunity for value creation for all shareholders.
