Insiders claim struggling Australian free-to-air TV group Ten Network’s board and management are keen to see it delisted. Some four tenths of its issued scrip is already held by just four major investors, in the shape of Lachlan Murdoch, James Packer, Gina Rinehart and Bruce Gordon. There are now rumours that US-based Providence Equity Partners is interested in taking Ten private, and has held talks with it. The media company has recruited law firm Gilbert + Tobin and investment bank City as advisers on any sale plans
