Fairfax Media is in ongoing talks on a potential merger with free-to-air TV group Ten Network, and may divest its radio assets to entrepreneur John Singleton so as not to breach media ownership laws. A 14.99% stake in Fairfax is held by mining heiress Gina Rinehart, who also has 10% of Ten. However she is stepping down from the role of director on Ten’s board. The seat will be taken up by John Klepec, also chief development officer at Rinehart’s private Hancock Prospecting vehicle. Interest in a deal with Ten has come from pay TV business Foxtel as well
