June 13 (Reuters) - Australian television station Ten Network Holdings Ltd TEN.AX said two high profile backers, including News Corp NWSA.O co-chairman Lachlan Murdoch, have informed it they won't extend their support for the company's loan facility after 2017.
The youth-oriented free-to-air braodcaster said in a statement on Tuesday that Murdoch's private company Illyria Pty Ltd and Birketu Pty Ltd, owned by regional television owner Bruce Gordon, would not extend a credit facility which expires on Dec. 23, 2017.
