Packer purchased an 18% stake in [[Network Ten]] in 2010, quickly offloading half to Lachlan Murdoch. Three months later, after a dispute with Murdoch over a senior management appointment, Packer resigned his [[Network Ten]] board seat. There was also speculation that he resigned due to a conflict of interest with his interests in Consolidated Media Holdings.<ref>{{cite news |first=Antonia |last=Magee |work=Herald Sun |date=2 March 2011 |title=James Packer, Lachlan Murdoch fall out over new Ten Network chief James Warburton |url=http://www.news.com.au/business/packer-resigns-from-ten-board/story-e6frfm1i-1226014676071 |access-date=21 August 2012}}</ref> Following the implementation of CBS's restructure of Network Ten announced in August 2017, Packer will no longer have an interest in Network Ten.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/tens-board-failed-to-update-market-for-four-weeks-after-packer-walked-20170814-gxvpnu.html|title=Ten's board failed to update market for four weeks after Packer walked|last=Lucy|first=Battersby|date=15 August 2017|website=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|access-date=7 June 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-29/channel-ten-cbs-takeover-plot-twist-seven-nine-will-hate/8853182|title=Ten Network no longer the biggest loser as CBS shakes up free-to-air TV|first=Stephen|last=Letts|date=30 August 2017|website=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|location=Australia}}</ref> In late May 2011, Packer made a reported A$80&nbsp;million investment in daily deals sites Scoopon and Catch of the Day through a partnership between his Consolidated Press Holding and several other investors, including Andrew Bassat, a co-founder of Seek.com.au.<ref>{{cite web|author=Bryant, Morris|title=Packer buys into Catch of the Day and Scoopon|url=http://thedealer.com.au/deals-blog/news/packer-buys-into-catch-of-the-day-and-scoopon/|access-date=16 June 2011|work=The Dealer |date=23 May 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830203626/http://thedealer.com.au/deals-blog/news/packer-buys-into-catch-of-the-day-and-scoopon/ |archive-date=30 August 2011}}</ref>
