THE CEO of Channel 10, James Warburton, was last night sacked as head of the network.

His termination was effective immediately and he will be replaced by Hamish McLennan, who will also take on the role of managing director.

In a statement last night, Ten chairman Lachlan Murdoch said: "The board would like to thank James Warburton for his hard work and contribution during what has been a difficult period for the company and for the broader media sector. He steps down with Ten's best wishes."

Mr Murdoch said he was delighted to welcome Mr McLennan into the role, labelling him a "world class" CEO with a "strong track record".

Mr Warburton joined Ten Network Holdings as chief executive in January last year.

He took on the role of managing director and joined the company's board of directors a month later.

Before his appointment to Ten, Mr Warburton was chief sales and digital officer at Seven Media Group, covering the Seven television network, Pacific Magazines, Yahoo!7 and SMG Red. His start at Ten was delayed for nine months after legal wrangling between the networks.

Mr Warburton's resume includes stints as managing director of the media agency Universal McCann and general manager of marketing at Hyundai Automotive Distributors Australia.
